Why is Testosterone so important?
Testosterone, in men, is the main factor to maintaining energy and youth. The higher your testosterone, the higher your drive. As you age, Testosterone levels start to decline. On average, a mans testosterone levels begin to decline at the rate of 1-3% per year after the age of 40. Drops in testosterone can impact your lifestyle, health and especially mental health.

Diagnosis and Treatment
To determine if you are a candidate for Testosterone Replacement Treatment, a thorough assessment and initial bloodwork is performed at the initial consultation.
Once it is determined that you are a candidate, you and the doctor will explore the following treatment options:
1. Pellets
Pellet therapy is customized to every mans unique physiology. Pellets are made of custom compounded hormones and binders. The hormones in the pellets are inserted subcutaneously into the body. You may begin to feel the full benefits of the pellets within 2-4 weeks. Hormone pellets have helped numerous men regain their hormone balance and restore their testosterone levels.
2. Topical Gels/ Creams
Testosterone gels and creams are prescriptions that can be used to boost testosterone. Gels and creams are a great alternative for those looking for non-invasive options or those with needle phobia. These topical treatments allow testosterone to be absorbed directly through the skin which provides a steadier release of the hormone.

Testosterone injections in Virginia Beach are widely used and an effective treatment for low Testosterone in Men. With injections, doctors are able to deliver predictable and stable levels of testosterone. The Testosterone injection can be given subcutaneously, which involves injecting the hormone into the fatty tissue just underneath the skin, or intramuscularly, which is directly into the muscle.
