Low Testosterone Q & A

What is low testosterone?

Low testosterone means that you don’t produce enough testosterone, the primary male hormone. Medical experts diagnose low testosterone if you have a testosterone level of fewer than 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) of blood.

Because testosterone levels vary with age, weight, general health, and other factors, Dr. Threatt evaluates your individual situation to determine if your testosterone level is adequate for your needs.

How does testosterone affect the body?

Testosterone is a vital hormone because it affects many aspects of your health, including:

  • Sex drive
  • Sperm production
  • Red blood cell production
  • Bone mass
  • Muscle and fat distribution
  • Muscle strength
  • Weight control
  • Hair growth

Too little testosterone can lead to problems like low libido, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, hair loss, and other problems that affect your physical and sexual health. Low testosterone can also prevent your brain from working at its peak. Some studies show that low testosterone might contribute to mental health disorders like depression.

How is low testosterone treated?

At Kane Health, Dr. Threatt prescribes bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for men with low testosterone. This hormone therapy restores your testosterone levels using natural plant-based ingredients.

With BHRT, Dr. Threatt measures your dosage for your specific body chemistry. This ensures you get the ideal amount of hormones and avoids flooding your body with excess hormones.

If you have other hormone deficiencies, Dr. Threatt can prescribe hormone replacement therapy for those specific needs as well.

What treatments go with testosterone replacement therapy?

Many men want to restore their hormone levels and make the best of their sexual, cognitive, and physical wellness. The men’s health programs at Kane Health use a functional whole-body approach to help you be your best in these areas.
