Low-T therapy

Low testosterone therapy in Richmond

Low-T therapy is testosterone replacement for men whose levels have dropped below average. We test your testosterone first, then treat with injections into the muscle or under the skin, usually twice a week. We can teach you to give them at home. Men often notice better mood, energy and sex drive.

Why testosterone drops

As men age, the body produces less testosterone. Low levels can cause fatigue, low libido, workouts that don’t pay off, and disrupted sleep. Together, those symptoms can leave men feeling like a lesser version of themselves.

How Low-T therapy works

Low-T therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Testosterone is replaced through intramuscular or subcutaneous injections, and we can teach you to give them yourself instead of coming to the office every week.

It’s an ongoing treatment. It can’t stop the aging process that causes testosterone to fall, so injections are usually given twice a week to keep levels steady.

There are other ways to raise testosterone, such as creams, patches and pills, but the hormone is absorbed better through injection.

Benefits men report

Questions

How is low testosterone treated?

Most of our low-T patients use testosterone injections, given into the muscle or just under the skin. Injections are usually given twice a week to keep levels steady, without the peaks and valleys of weekly or every-other-week doses.

Will I have to come in for every injection?

No. We can teach you to give yourself injections at home, so you don’t have to come to the office every week.

Where do I get my labs drawn?

At a lab near where you live or work, at a time that suits you. Initial and follow-up labs are included in our plans.

Do you test hormone levels before treatment?

Always. We test estrogen and progesterone for women and testosterone for men. We only recommend low-T therapy when a man’s testosterone is lower than average.
