Maintaining optimal hormone levels is essential for men's health and wellbeing. Testosterone deficiency in particular can negatively impact energy, strength, libido, and cognitive function. At Peak Performance Hormone Institute, our men's health clinic in Manhasset helps patients identify hormone imbalances and determine an effective treatment plan.
Common deficiency signs to be aware of include low energy levels, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, diminished sex drive, erectile dysfunction, poor concentration, and/or feeling depressed. If experiencing multiple symptoms, testing testosterone and other hormone levels can help uncover a potential deficiency or imbalance. Our knowledgeable medical team evaluates lab results and each patient's unique health profile to create customized treatment plans.
One treatment option that can provide dramatic benefits for men with clinically low testosterone levels is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). When administered properly and tailored to the individual, TRT helps restore testosterone to optimal ranges, supporting key body processes related to strength, stamina, mental acuity, weight management, and sexuality.
At our Manhasset men's health clinic, initial testosterone therapy protocols typically involve weekly intramuscular injections, daily topical gels containing testosterone, and/or testosterone pellets inserted under the skin every few months to release hormones steadily. Follow-up bloodwork helps gauge progress so our physicians can make dosage or method changes as needed.
While TRT serves as foundational treatment for most male hormone deficiencies, additional therapies and lifestyle measures also have important roles supporting improvement and long-term health:
Finally, if low testosterone or other hormone deficiency signs arise, prompt diagnosis and treatment are strongly advised, rather than putting off evaluations and lab testing. The longer patients live with deficiencies, the more pronounced related health issues typically become over time. Receiving prompt hormone testing, evaluation and customized treatment supports substantial benefits across the board regarding improved energy, strength, body composition, mental acuity and outlook, sexual health, and overall wellbeing.
We strive to provide caring assistance diagnosing underlying issues, determining effective treatment plans, and continuing follow-up care for optimal long-term health outcomes. Please reach out and schedule a consultation to discuss any hormone-related concerns. Our knowledgeable medical team looks forward to helping patients address deficiencies, achieve balance, and realize their best selves.
