Testosterone Replacement Prema Health Portsmouth

About this treatment

At Prema Health, our testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) services are dedicated to supporting men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism. If you’re affected by this condition, it may be significantly impacting your health and well-being, and our compassionate approach aims to restore balance and improve your quality of life.

Testosterone replacement therapy involves supplementing the body with testosterone to bring levels back to a healthy range. Testosterone is a crucial hormone for men, influencing muscle mass, bone density, mood, energy levels, and sexual health. When your testosterone levels drop, you can experience various symptoms that affect your daily life and overall health.

In More Detail

As men age, it’s natural for testosterone levels to decline, but in some cases, levels can become abnormally low, leading to a range of related symptoms. TRT is needed to alleviate these symptoms and reduce the risk of other associated health problems.

At Prema Health, we offer several TRT options tailored to your individual needs and preferences. These may include:
Injections – testosterone can be administered through intramuscular injections, usually given every few weeks. This method ensures a steady increase in testosterone levels.
Gels and Creams – topical applications are available for daily use, allowing testosterone to be absorbed through the skin.
Patches – transdermal patches provide a controlled release of testosterone and are applied to the skin daily.
Implants – testosterone pellets can be implanted under the skin, releasing the hormone gradually over several months.

The treatment process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including blood tests to measure your current testosterone levels. Our experienced doctors will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine the most suitable TRT option for you. Once a plan is established, we will provide detailed instructions on how to administer the treatment, whether it’s an injection, topical application, patch, or implant.

TRT can bring about significant improvements in various aspects of health and well-being. Men often report increased energy levels, improved mood, and enhanced libido. TRT can help build and maintain muscle mass, reduce body fat, and improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures. Cognitive function and overall mental health can also benefit from balanced testosterone levels, leading to a better quality of life.

At Prema Health, our goal is to provide personalised, evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of each patient. We understand the profound impact that low testosterone can have on your life, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. By restoring hormonal balance, TRT can help you feel more vibrant, healthy, and confident. Schedule a consultation with our expert team to explore how testosterone replacement therapy can enhance your well-being.

Conditions Treated

Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, can lead to a variety of conditions that can be effectively treated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). One common condition is decreased libido or sexual dysfunction, which can manifest as reduced interest in sex or difficulties achieving and maintaining erections. TRT can help restore sexual desire and improve erectile function, enhancing overall sexual health and satisfaction.

Another associated condition is fatigue and decreased energy levels. Men with low testosterone often feel persistently tired and lack the vitality needed for daily activities. TRT can boost energy levels, leading to improved motivation and productivity. Mood disturbances, such as depression, irritability, and anxiety, are also linked to low testosterone. TRT can help stabilise mood and enhance emotional well-being, contributing to a better quality of life.

Low testosterone can also lead to loss of muscle mass and increased body fat, particularly around the abdomen. This change in body composition can affect physical strength and overall fitness. TRT can promote muscle growth, reduce fat, and improve physical performance. Additionally, low testosterone is associated with decreased bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. TRT can help maintain bone health and reduce the risk of bone-related injuries.

At Prema Health, our tailored TRT programs aim to address these conditions, offering comprehensive support to improve overall health and well-being if you’re experiencing the effects of low testosterone.
