From under the skin pellets or topical creams to convenient injections, we have the playbook to help you feel better. It’s all about what works for you.

Low Testosterone Levels and Symptoms

Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism, can affect a man’s overall well-being. Common symptoms include:

• Low Libido: A noticeable decrease in sex drive.
• Erectile Dysfunction: Trouble getting or keeping an erection.
• Fatigue: Tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest.
• Brain Fog: Trouble focusing or paying attention.
• Muscle Loss: Loss of muscle mass and strength.
• Bone Loss: Increased risk of osteoporosis.
• Hot Flashes or Night Sweats: Sudden warmth and sweating.
• Mood Swings: Depression or irritability.
• Sleep Problems: Insomnia or disrupted sleep.
• Poor Well-Being: Feeling unwell.

Other medical conditions can also cause these symptoms. So a blood test is necessary to determine if low testosterone is the root cause. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Solcara Health can help you get the answers and solutions you need.

Low Testosterone Causes

Low testosterone levels can be caused by:

• Aging: Testosterone declines naturally with age starting around 25.
• Hypogonadism: When the testes don’t produce enough testosterone.
• Pituitary Gland Issues: Problems with the gland that regulates testosterone.
• Injury or Trauma: Injury to the testes or pituitary gland.
• Infections: Certain infections like mumps or orchitis can damage the testes.
• Medications: Some medications like opioids or steroids can lower testosterone.
• Obesity: Excess weight can affect testosterone production.
• Sleep Apnea: This sleep disorder can lower testosterone and lower muscle mass.
• Chronic Illnesses: Diabetes or HIV can cause low testosterone.

Knowing the cause of low testosterone is key to testosterone treatment. At Solcara Health we take a holistic approach to find and fix the root cause of your symptoms.

Precautions and Contraindications

Some conditions may contraindicate TRT. These include:

Treatment Duration and Expectations

TRT duration varies from person to person and goals. Some men may need TRT for several years or lifetime while others may need it for a shorter period.

Having the right expectations about the treatment and its results is key. TRT can help with low testosterone symptoms but may not get rid of them completely. Regular monitoring and adjustments will help optimize the treatment.

Men can start to notice improvements in symptoms within a few weeks to a few months after starting TRT. But to get to optimal testosterone levels and full benefits of the treatment can take several months to a year or more.

At Solcara Health we’ll be with you every step of the way on your TRT journey so you get the best results.
