The expert physicians at Prime Hormone Solutions specialize in male hormones and prescribing effective testosterone replacement tailored to your unique physiology and needs.
The symptoms and signs above can indicate low T, but accurate blood analysis is needed to confirm this. Our clinic provides comprehensive testosterone testing that includes:
This test measures the overall amount of circulating testosterone in the body from all sources. Comparing your result to the reference range indicates if your levels are low.
However, some men can still have low or inadequate levels in the "normal" range causing bothersome symptoms described earlier.
Only 1-2% of your circulating testosterone is "free" and bioavailable to your cells. Even with normal total T levels, the free portion can be insufficient. We provide both total and free testosterone assays.
If testing confirms low testosterone or inadequate free levels, our clinic has worked with thousands of men to safely increase levels utilizing bioidentical testosterone therapy protocols.
There are several options for efficiently restoring testosterone including:
Our clinic will evaluate your lifestyle, needs and preferences to determine the optimal route for you. We offer all these modalities to suit your individual physiology.
Follow-up blood testing is performed 6 weeks after initiating therapy to measure your response and adjust dosing accordingly. Our clinicians carefully monitor your symptoms, side effects and labs to achieve ideal, balanced hormone levels.
Most men notice benefits in energy, mood, sexual function and body composition within 6-8 weeks on the protocol. Ongoing lab testing further refines and confirms you are receiving the proper testosterone dose over months and years on treatment.
Prime Hormone Solutions meticulously manages potential side effects like elevated hematocrit or estradiol rises. We may recommend more frequent blood donations or subtle medication adjustments to avoid adverse issues from developing on your customized regimen.
Our patients love the enhanced vibrancy they experience by properly addressing low testosterone! We look forward to helping you optimize and balance your hormones for better health and wellbeing.
The many symptoms and signs of low T are highlighted earlier. Blood testing as described is the only sure way to determine if treatment is indicated. The physicians at our clinic will analyze all your labs and risk factors to make informed recommendations about starting TRT.
Coverage for testosterone therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Many policies provide coverage if your tested blood levels are below normal along with consistent symptoms. We provide detailed paperwork, testing, and medical justification to appeal denials when necessary.Out-of-pocket costs for self-pay testosterone regimens are also available on an affordable membership model at our clinic.
As with any medical therapy, potential adverse issues exist that our clinicians carefully monitor:- Acne outbreak or oily skin- Breast tissue growth if estradiol not managed- Elevated red blood cell count- Prostate enlargement- Sleep apnea exacerbation- Testicular shrinkage and infertilityThrough proper testing and dosing strategies, our doctors minimize probability of these side effects developing. Most are reversible when treatment is stopped. We also adjust medications as needed on follow up.
While testosterone treatment is less common in women, advanced hormone clinics like ours certainly utilize TRT in female patients also. Significant scientific data shows that balanced testosterone levels, when properly administered under a doctor’s care, can effectively help women suffering from fatigue, mental fog, low libido, anxiety, weight gain and other symptoms potentially caused by hormonal declines or imbalances.
Most patients report significant benefits within 6-8 weeks after optimizing their testosterone levels:- Increased energy, motivation and drive- Enhanced sexual desire and performance- Improved moods and sense of wellbeing- Easier fat loss and muscle gain- Better sleep quality and concentrationThe level of improvements varies but most men are quite satisfied with treatment once hormone levels are adjusted into favorable ranges by our clinic.
