Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone is a hormone responsible for the proper development of male sexual characteristics that is produced by the testicles. Testosterone is also important for maintaining bone density, muscle mass, red blood cell levels, sense of well-being, and sexual function.

As you grow older…

As men age, the amount of testosterone gradually declines. This decline naturally starts after age 30 and continues throughout the remainder of a man’s life. If testosterone levels get too low, energy, mood, muscle mass, and overall health are affected.

What is Low Testosterone?

Testosterone levels are considered low in men if they fall below 300 ng/dL. Low testosterone affects more than 13 million men in the U.S. over the age of 45. Even though men naturally lose testosterone as they age, hypogonadism, also known as low testosterone, is a medical condition that is not a natural part of aging. In general, there is no cure for low testosterone. However, testosterone replacement therapy which returns testosterone to healthy levels is available.

• depressed mood
• decreased sex drive
