What is testosterone, and how does it work?

Testosterone, a vital hormone primarily produced in the testicles, plays a crucial role in masculine development and overall health. It fuels puberty, enhances muscle mass and bone density, and regulates libido. Testosterone also influences mood, cognitive function, and energy levels. However, testosterone levels can decline due to aging, stress, or health conditions, leading to symptoms like fatigue and reduced sexual desire. Testosterone therapy replenishes the body's testosterone supply to restore optimal vitality and wellness.

How low testosterone affects men

Low testosterone, often associated with andropause or "male menopause," typically occurs in men aged 40 and above, though it can also happen earlier. Andropause brings forth a range of symptoms, including decreased energy levels, diminished libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle weakness, increased body fat, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating.

Beyond the physical toll, low testosterone can impact emotional well-being, contributing to feelings of depression and reduced motivation. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers personalized testosterone therapy in Greenwood, IN, to reverse the effects of andropause and restore youthful vitality.

What to expect from your testosterone therapy experience

During your consultation, our providers will thoroughly assess your symptoms, medical history, and lab results to determine if testosterone therapy is appropriate for you. We'll discuss your treatment options, potential benefits, and any associated risks or side effects to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding before proceeding. If testosterone therapy is deemed suitable, we'll tailor a treatment plan specifically for you.

Testosterone therapy can be administered through injections or subcutaneous pellets. Injections are typically self-administered at home on a regular schedule, while pellets are implanted under the skin during a brief office procedure and gradually release testosterone over several months. Regardless of the method chosen, you can expect gradual improvements in energy levels, libido, muscle mass, and overall well-being as your testosterone levels are restored to optimal ranges. Our team will closely monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed.

What is the recovery process like?

While testosterone therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as acne, fluid retention, breast enlargement, or worsening of sleep apnea. If you opt for testosterone pellet implantation, you may experience minor discomfort or bruising at the implantation site for a few days. Otherwise, you can generally resume your normal activities immediately following treatment. Our providers will closely monitor you for any adverse reactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
