How to Treat Low Testosterone
Bio-Identical Testosterone Injections
Testosterone injections are weekly shots that often come with supplemental medication to help maintain steady levels of testosterone. We recommend injections as the choice of hormone replacement therapy for men.
This method offers simple, easy-to-dose options that can easily be changed to meet your needs.
At Santé, we offer refills with a monthly program to make it more convenient for you. We also run lab work one month after treatment and then every three months until your levels are stable.
Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy
Testosterone pellets are a quick, relatively simple procedure that provides months of testosterone supplementation. We especially recommend testosterone pellets for women struggling with lower testosterone. During this time, you’re able to monitor how you feel, taking post-insertion blood work at four weeks to ensure that your levels are healthy. Your testosterone levels will continue to be monitored throughout your treatment to decrease any adverse effects of testosterone.
Testosterone Pellet Procedure
The procedure lasts about 15 minutes in total, starting with some numbing cream for the insertion site, then a small incision is made along the hips to insert the pellet (which is the size of a grain of rice). Testosterone levels are kept even since injections help the hormones secrete into the bloodstream.
Depending on your lifestyle and your testosterone goals, we will develop a unique plan for you to supplement your testosterone and start living your life to the fullest. Supplemental medication may be given if indicated.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Our board-certified physician will take a full medical history from you and discuss the different challenges you have been facing. This is the time when we can go through the options you have for testosterone supplementation to choose the right therapy for you.
Lab work will be ordered to ensure you are an appropriate candidate to start testosterone and to determine the correct dosage.
Once the correct dosage is identified, you will be given the injectable testosterone and medical supplies to take home, OR you will be scheduled for testosterone pellet insertion. Lab work will follow up after a couple of months to ensure you are on the correct dosage for optimum results. This monitoring will continue until testosterone results are stable, and then yearly bloodwork will be used to indicate levels.
Bio-Identical Testosterone Therapy FAQs
When Will I Feel the Effects of Supplemental Testosterone?
- Sleep
- Motivation
- Energy
- Sex Drive
- Fat Loss
- Lean Muscle Mass
Do Testosterone Pellets Work Better Than Injections?
Both options have positive effects that make them attractive options for anyone struggling with low testosterone. The pellets are longer-lasting, which means the body absorbs them much more slowly. This leads to a more steady hormone production without so many peaks or valleys in potential side effects.
Testosterone injections start working almost immediately. They are fast-acting enough that weekly shots are the best treatment method so your provider can monitor your levels and adjust as necessary.
Who Should Not Have Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
What Are the Side Effects of Bio-Identical Testosterone Therapy?
Some patients experience visible effects, such as acne, an enlarged prostate, or shrinking testicles. Swollen feet and ankles can also happen. Other effects can’t be seen – like a decrease in sperm count or a higher red blood cell count.
