Do I have low testosterone?
Low testosterone (also called low T or hypogonadism) is a diagnosable medical condition, not a lifestyle label. Common symptoms include low energy and stamina, reduced libido or erectile changes, loss of muscle, increased body fat, low mood and poor sleep. Because those symptoms have several possible causes, the only way to know is an evaluation with blood testing — usually a morning testosterone level, repeated to confirm, along with related labs.
How testosterone is diagnosed
Diagnosis requires both symptoms and confirmed low blood levels — not one or the other. We check a morning total testosterone, confirm an abnormal result with a repeat test, and evaluate related labs and possible contributing conditions before recommending any treatment. Treating on symptoms alone, or on a single borderline number, is exactly what we avoid.
Testosterone treatment options
When the diagnosis supports treatment, TRT is available in several forms — topical gels, injections, and pellet therapy for eligible patients. Each has trade-offs in convenience, dosing and cost, and the right choice is individual. We discuss the options with you and choose together.
Monitoring and safety
TRT is not "set and forget." We monitor your response and safety on a schedule — symptoms, testosterone levels, red blood cell count, PSA where appropriate, and other labs — and adjust or stop treatment based on results. Good monitoring is what separates responsible testosterone care from a quick prescription.
Testosterone, weight and metabolic health
Low testosterone often travels with weight gain, blood sugar and cardiovascular risk. Because your care is inside a primary care practice, we address these together — including medical weight loss and screening for diabetes and high blood pressure — rather than treating testosterone in isolation. See our broader men's health care.
TRT and fertility
An important point many men are not told: standard testosterone therapy can reduce sperm production and affect fertility. If you may want children, tell us — there are approaches that take fertility into account, and it changes the plan.
Is testosterone therapy covered by insurance?
The evaluation, testing and diagnosis are generally billable to insurance or Medicare as part of your medical care. Coverage of the treatment itself varies by plan and by the form of therapy; some options may be self-pay. We are transparent about cost before anything is started. Insurance participation can change — call or text 214-810-4331 to confirm your plan.
