Did you know two out of every 100 men may have testosterone deficiency? Exact numbers are hard to come by, as men may be too embarrassed to discuss their symptoms or explore treatment options with their primary care doctors. Data suggests as few as 1% of younger men have low-T, 40% of men over 40 have low-T, and up to 50% of men over 80 years old have the condition. Studies have also found overweight and diabetic men are especially prone to having low blood testosterone levels.
Fortunately, treatments are available. Millions of men in the U.S. restore natural levels of testosterone therapeutically. Low testosterone treatment can help men feel more mentally alert, sexually awakened, and physically energetic. Learn more by scheduling a telemedicine appointment today.

The effects of low testosterone therapy are typically observed within 3-4 weeks. A blood test is the best way to tell how well the treatment is working. Most men report increases in energy, libido, and the ability to get and maintain erection within a couple weeks. Other effects—such as mood enhancement—could take up to six weeks to manifest. If you are taking testosterone to increase red blood cell count, the impact won’t be noticeable until three months, peaking between nine months to a year.
Testosterone therapy often requires lifelong treatment to keep adverse side effects at bay. However, if necessary, it is possible to cease treatment with testosterone under the supervision of your physician. Adverse side effects of testosterone therapy cessation — such as weight gain, muscle loss, headaches, and loss of sex drive—are possible if treatment is stopped abruptly, so your medical provider may recommend a regimen of gradual draw-down if you need to stop men’s testosterone therapy.
Often, low testosterone is just one part of men’s health. Beyond simply providing Hormone replacement therapy for men, a telemedicine doctor can assess other indicators of mental health—including attitude, anxiety, confidence—as well as overall physical health to provide convenient and comprehensive wellness care.
