Introduction to Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone is essential for mood, energy, muscle mass, and bone strength. In men with clinically low testosterone due to a confirmed medical condition (not just age alone), therapy can help restore levels to a healthier range. Amanecia Health provides evidence-based testosterone therapy under the care of board-certified physicians, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
Benefits of Testosterone Therapy
- More Energy: Reduced fatigue and improved stamina for daily activities.
- Better Mood: May help stabilize mood and support mental sharpness.
- Increased Muscle Strength: Supports muscle mass and strength when combined with exercise.
- Bone Health: Helps maintain bone density, lowering osteoporosis risk.
- Improved Libido: Supports sexual desire and performance in many men.
Note: These benefits vary and require consistent medical supervision and healthy lifestyle habits.
Understanding the Risks
Like any hormone therapy, testosterone treatment has important risks to weigh carefully:
- Prostate Monitoring: Testosterone can stimulate prostate tissue. Regular screening for prostate cancer risk is recommended.
- Red Blood Cell Increase: Therapy can raise hematocrit, raising clot risk—requiring regular blood tests.
- Fertility Impact: Supplemental testosterone can lower sperm production and affect fertility.
- Heart Health: Use cautiously in patients with heart disease; discuss your history thoroughly with your doctor.
Always work with a qualified hormone specialist to ensure your therapy is medically appropriate and closely monitored. Explore trusted sources like the National Institutes of Health for further reading.
