Low Testosterone and TRT
Low testosterone levels can result in both physical and psychological health concerns. We offer Testosterone Replacement Therapy to help restore performance.
Causes, symptoms, and treatment of low testosterone
There are a number of factors that can result in low testosterone. These include:
- Lack of sleep – bad sleep patterns or disorders.
- Lack of exercise – inactivity is an obvious factor.
- Obesity – obesity and obesity-related diseases lower levels.
- Certain foods – soya-based foods are hotly debated but anecdotal evidence would suggest soya decreases testosterone.
- Smoking – Common sense would argue you reduce smoking or cut it altogether.
- Marijuana – countless studies have shown that THC and other chemicals affect testosterone production
- Alcohol – a direct link between alcohol and low testosterone was established may years ago
- A lack of vitamins and minerals– Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, Folic acid and B vitamins can reduce the level of testosterone as well as sperm quality.
- Prescription medicines – a number of products have been shown to result in a decline in testosterone levels.

Testosterone Deficiency has well-established symptoms.
The 4th International Consultation for Sexual Medicine (ICSM) made the following recommendations for the clinical diagnosis of TD based on the following signs and symptoms:
- Sexual dysfunction, especially low sexual desire, decreased morning and night-time erections, and Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
- Less specific symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, loss of physical strength, decreased energy and motivation, and depressed mood is often present.
- Visceral obesity (fat around your belly) and decreases in muscle mass and bone mineral density.
- Hot flushes and changes in cognition and memory can be associated with TD.
- On physical examination, features suggestive of TD include decreased body hair and decreased testicular size, but these are not always present. Fine wrinkling of the skin, especially around the mouth, also can be present.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and is often marketed as an anti-ageing therapy or male hormone therapy.
Essentially, it is a case of giving testosterone to men to reduce the symptoms of testosterone deficiency. The symptoms may be supported by blood tests or may just be symptom-based.
It can be given orally, in your muscles, through the skin or in the form of patches, creams o gels. The route through the muscles seems to be the most effective way, unless, of course, you don’t like injections.
