Being Your Best with Testosterone Therapy in West Palm Beach FL

Testosterone Therapy In West Palm Beach FL

When the levels of this vital hormone drop to what would be considered medically low, the best method of treating the symptoms with hormone replenishment therapy. With all medical science has discovered about hormone replacement therapy, doctors are strong proponents of it, saying that there is nothing like being your best with testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL.

Low testosterone, or Low-T, can be a serious problem for many older adults because it can affect strength, weight maintenance, moods/temperament and libido. Both men and women can suffer the effects of Low-T, although it is more common in men. Estrogen is the primary sex hormone for women; testosterone is the primary sex hormone for men. Both gender’s bodies produce both hormones, but women’s produce more estrogen and men’s produce more testosterone.

For men and women the symptoms of low T are similar; lethargy, mood swings, increased effects of menopause and andropause, low sex drive with impaired performance, and weaker muscles.

The only way to tell if Low-T is an issue or is causing symptomology is to conduct a blood test and measure the levels directly. If the levels are clinically low, the individual qualifies for testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL with a hormone replacement center like Kingsberg Medical.

Is Testosterone Therapy Only for Men?

The term testosterone is often bandied about in reference to men. When men are together in a group there is often some reference to it, especially if they are involved in watching professional sports and getting very excited. It is not exclusive to men, even though the amount produced in men is significantly larger.

Testosterone works in tandem with the other body hormones, especially growth hormone, and plays a part in hair growth, energy, muscle tone, weight loss, sexual function, stamina, mental stability and the production of red blood cells. Testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL is only an option for those who are viably deficient.

If hormone levels are not low, no medication will be prescribed, and it cannot be prescribed to professional athletes for performance enhancement.

For men, the most common form of testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL is testosterone cypionate injections. The medication can be compounded by our pharmacy if a specific dosage is needed or prescribed under the brand name Depo. This is by far the most effective treatment for most of our patients.

In the event of a patient with a much greater need for Low T treatment, our doctors might prescribe the hormone in propionate or enanthate forms. The main difference between these formulations is the frequency of dosage. Since they are administered intramuscularly, the hormone disperses in the body over a period of time. It takes about 7 days for cypionate to completely absorb into the body. The other forms absorb more quickly and must be taken more often.

A woman in need of supplementing this hormone would most likely be prescribed a cream or gel to control a smaller dose because her prescription would be significantly smaller in dosage. It is a very rare occurrence for a woman to be giving injections, but it is not unheard of.

Successful Hormone Replacement Therapy with Testosterone

Some people get a little nervous at the idea of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) given the scare back in 2002 with problems with hormone replacement therapy using synthetic estrogen. That particular hormone medicine is no longer available, but it still sticks out in people’s memory, making them hesitant toward the idea of testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL.

Times have changed, and so has the way of processing medicine. Testosterone cypionate is a bio-identical medicine. This means, as an exact duplicate of natural hormone, it will not be harmful to the body like the previously created synthetic drugs were.

An added safety precaution in therapy to treat Low-T is individual dosing and physician supervision. An over abundance of testosterone is more dangerous than a deficiency, so doctors are very precise in their dosages, and they watch their patients closely during treatment. If any issue arise, they can be nipped in the bud.

Kingsberg Medical provides top-notch testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL for adult men and women over the age of 40. The use of this medication is banned from the world of professional sports and cannot be given without a prescription that validates a hormone deficiency. Our facility follows these legal protocols knowing the risks improper use will cause.

Is Testosterone Therapy an Option for Women?

Women’s bodies do need testosterone, just not as much as men’s bodies need it. During menopause, this hormone can sometimes be even more helpful than estrogen therapy because side effects of estrogen supplementation have been proven to be more severe.

A woman who may need testosterone therapy in West Palm Beach FL needs to be blood-tested by a physician first. Balancing levels in a woman is a much more precise endeavor than balancing it for a man because, with the minute amounts a woman needs, there is less margin for error, and the side effects of administering too much would be more severe.

Irregular menstrual periods, increased body hair, a deepening of the voice, and frontal balding. These are things that could happen to a woman with improper dosage. A woman with too much testosterone has a higher risk for infertility. There should be an awareness that some of these side effects are irreversible.
