Low testosterone, commonly known as Low T, occurs when the body produces less testosterone, a vital hormone for male health. This condition is also referred to as Male Menopause, Andropause, and Late-Onset Hypogonadism.
Testosterone is a vital hormone responsible for various functions, including maintaining muscle mass, bone density, mood stability, and sexual health. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to various physical, emotional, and mental health issues that can significantly impact overall well-being and quality of life. Addressing Low T is essential for men to restore vitality and improve daily functioning.
The average testosterone levels in adult males typically range from 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Testosterone levels can naturally decline as men age, starting around age 30 to 40. Levels below 300 ng/dL are generally considered indicative of low testosterone.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy, also known as androgen replacement therapy (ART), is a form of hormone therapy where androgens, primarily testosterone, are supplemented or replaced in individuals with low testosterone levels. TRT can be administered through various methods, including injections, skin creams, patches, gels, pills, or subcutaneous pellets. The primary goal of TRT is to improve symptoms and signs of testosterone deficiency, which can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, depressed mood, anemia, and loss of muscle and bone mass, among others.

While TRT offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to be aware of potential side effects. Possible side effects include acne, sleep apnea, changes in blood cell counts, and mood swings. The risks can be minimized when managed by licensed medical practitioners specializing in hormone therapy.
At Insititute of Vitality, we are committed to offering TRT only to those who will benefit from it safely. We take a two-step approach to mitigate these risks.
Before starting treatment, all potential TRT candidates must undergo comprehensive lab tests. This evaluation allows us to tailor the therapy to your specific needs and minimize risks.
We recommend follow-up evaluations every six months after starting TRT to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary. These regular evaluations are important to minimize side effects and maintain effectiveness of the treatment.
The duration of TRT depends on various factors, including the underlying cause of low testosterone, overall health, age, and how well one responds to the treatment.
Some individuals use TRT as a temporary boost to kickstart improvements in other areas of their health, such as diet and exercise. This short-term use typically lasts 6 to 12 months, after which they may stop the therapy if their overall health and testosterone levels improve sufficiently. TRT can be a long-term or even lifelong commitment for those with chronic low testosterone levels. The long-term use is often necessary as stopping therapy could result in the return of symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and mood disturbances.
The decision on how long to stay on TRT should be made in consultation with our TRT specialists. For more detailed information, schedule a call with Institute of Vitality. You don’t need to visit our clinic. The process is completely remote starting with an online consultation.
