What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Testosterone helps maintain men’s overall health and function.

What Is Low Testosterone?

Low Testosterone is a condition where your testosterone levels fall below the recommended range. The range is very broad, ranging from 300 to 1100. The recommended range for a man’s testosterone levels is between 700 to 900.

Men who have below average testosterone levels may experience the following:

  • Loss of Libido (sex drive)
  • Fatigue and decreased energy levels
  • Memory Loss
  • Depression
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Muscle Loss
  • Weight Gain
  • Sleep apnea
  • Hair Loss

The good news is, with the correct medical-supervised program, men of all ages can experience dramatic improvements in their testosterone levels. The result is a more active and robust lifestyle.

The Benefits of Testosterone Therapy

Low testosterone treatments provide a wide range of benefits to men. Not only can it help improve sexual function, but it can also lead to improved physical and mental health. In addition, low testosterone treatments have been shown to

  • Reduce fatigue
  • Sperm production
  • Improve mood
  • Increase overall energy levels
  • Fat distribution
  • Muscle strength and mass
  • Facial and body hair
  • Red blood cell production
  • Sex drive
  • Increase muscle mass and bone density
  • Higher sex drive
  • Reduction of sleep apnea

For these reasons, low testosterone treatments are becoming increasingly popular among men of all ages.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction, or E.D., is a condition affecting a man’s ability to achieve and sustain an erection during sexual intercourse. E.D. affects as many as half of all men. Though the condition itself is not considered dangerous, E.D. is associated with systematic vascular disease, heart conditions, renal failure, prostate cancer, depression, and other more serious conditions. It is generally recommended that men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction consult with a medical professional for treatment.

Main Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a variety of different underlying issues, including:

  • Vascular disease
  • Heart conditions such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure
  • Excessive alcohol use
  • Tobacco use
  • Psychological conditions such as depression or anxiety
  • Diabetes/obesity
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Low testosterone
  • Select medical treatments, such as medications or surgeries that affect the pelvis

What are the signs and symptoms that accompany Erectile Dysfunction?

The primary signs and symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction are:

  • Trouble getting an erection
  • Trouble maintaining an erection
  • Lack of or reduced sexual desire

Because these symptoms can be caused by a range of circumstances, from the basic (too much alcohol) to the complex (heart disease or systematic vascular disease), it is recommended that any man experiencing recurring erectile dysfunction seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.

What Is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is when a male ejaculates before or shortly after sexual penetration, frequently with little sexual arousal. Premature ejaculation usually causes unsatisfying sexual experiences for both partners in a relationship, which can lead to anxiety and stress, exacerbating the problem.

Individual cases of Premature Ejaculation are exceedingly common, affecting almost every guy at some point in his life and requiring no specific treatment. However, persistent concerns with Premature Ejaculation necessitate treatment, and there are numerous solutions available.

What Causes Premature Ejaculation?

Premature Ejaculation can be caused by high levels of stress or anxiety, hormonal issues, and certain injuries. It can also be a side effect of certain medicines.

How Is Premature Ejaculation Diagnosed?

Because Premature Ejaculation can be caused by issues ranging from psychological/emotional stressors to underlying hormonal issues or medicinal side effects, it is essential that patients seeking treatment be open and honest with their medical provider. Identifying the unique cause or causes for any individual often requires some simple laboratory tests to be ordered since hormones and reaction to certain medications play a role in causing Premature Ejaculation.
