TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Description

Testosterone is an essential male sex hormone produced in the testicles. Men need healthy testosterone levels to maintain their sex drive, sperm count, muscle mass, bone health, cognitive function, red blood cell production, and several other important body functions.
Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As many men age, their testosterone levels can decline approx. 1%-2% a year after age 30 or 40.

​
Low level of testosterone could be due to a problem with the testicles or pituitary gland that controls the testicles which could cause many adverse side effects.

TRT is a great solution to help you win the battle against lowering testosterone. At Vivardi Clinics, we have several testosterone replacement products that will help you get your health and wellbeing back on track.

What Results Can I See from Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Many positive effects happen when your testosterone is regulated to provide your body with all the hormones it needs for healthy function.

• Better body composition with increased muscle mass and decreased fat
• Increased muscle strength
• Improved sexual desire and libido
• Reduced fatigue and feeling of exhaustion
• Better sleep
• Improved mood and self-confidence
• Reduced risk of certain diseases.

Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that TRT helps maintain testosterone levels within the therapeutic range, therefore minimising the negative side effects associated with low testosterone. Most patients will achieve a normal testosterone range within two to three consecutive injections.

What Are the Side Effects of TRT?

Development of acne is a possibility but usually mild and transient. Other side effects that would be monitored throughout your TRT are increased blood count, changes in cholesterol profile, increased PSA levels. Your full blood count, PSA, liver function test and cholesterol levels will be checked periodically to minimise the risk of complication.

We look forward to helping you gain your vitality and health back.
