Second Spring Hormone Clinic is a premier testosterone therapy clinic serving the residents of Gallipolis and surrounding areas. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of low testosterone or hypogonadism in men.
Many men suffer from symptoms related to deficient testosterone levels including:
Testosterone deficiency can occur due to primary testicular failure, problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, chronic illnesses, infections, medications, injuries, radiation treatment or chemotherapy. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline but some men experience more severe drops leading to troubling symptoms.
Getting a diagnosis from a knowledgeable doctor who treats low testosterone is key to receiving proper treatment with testosterone therapy.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at Second Spring Hormone Clinic can produce life-changing improvements including:
By optimizing testosterone levels with TRT under medical supervision, most men feel healthier, happier and able to participate more actively in work, sports and relationships.
There are several forms of testosterone therapy available including:
Testosterone injections deliver testosterone directly into the bloodstream for rapid effects. Doses and injection frequency will be tailored to your needs.
Testosterone gels provide daily testosterone absorption through the skin. It's easy to use but care must be taken to avoid transferring testosterone to partners or children.
Buccal patches stick to the upper gums and steadily release testosterone into the tissues for absorption. Patches must be changed twice a day.
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin every 3-6 months to slowly deliver hormones. This avoids frequent dosing while providing stable testosterone levels.
TRT therapy requires close medical monitoring to optimize dosage, maximize benefits and minimize side effects. Our experienced doctors will design a customized treatment protocol for your unique needs.
Second Spring Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge diagnostics and innovative TRT therapy protocols not available at typical family medicine or urology clinics.
By detecting and correcting low testosterone in a timely manner, Second Spring Hormone Clinic can help you regain peak performance, health and happiness. Contact us today for a consultation.
Unfortunately I do not have enough context to generate an interesting and unexpected fact about testosterone clinics in 65 words or less. Testosterone replacement therapy can be a complex and personal medical issue. If you have specific questions or concerns about testosterone treatment, I would suggest speaking with your doctor.
The first step is getting thorough lab testing because symptoms alone often don’t indicate whether testosterone is low enough to benefit from therapy. We will order tests such as:
- Measures both free and bound testosterone
- Indicates the amount readily available to cells
- Sex hormone binding globulin impacts available testosterone
- Pituitary signals influencing testosterone
Testosterone fluctuates so more than one early morning blood draw may be needed for accuracy.
Once deficient levels are confirmed, our physicians will conduct exams and question you about symptoms to determine if TRT is appropriate. Starting dosage depends on multiple factors. Close monitoring helps provide the needed testosterone boost without excess.
When beginning TRT therapy, expect:
Follow up blood tests are needed frequently at first to measure progress and adjust the treatment regimen until hormone levels and symptom relief stabilize - usually around 6 months for full effects.
Testosterone therapy effectiveness can be enhanced through healthy lifestyle choices including:
- Strength and cardio exercise boosts energy, burns fat, builds muscle, elevates mood and helps normalize hormonal balance. We recommend joining the state-of-the-art facilities at the Gallipolis Fitness Center which offers top-notch equipment, classes, trainers and great seasonal discounts.
- Low-glycemic diets reduce obesity and inflammation for better testosterone uptake and action. The farm-to-table fare at Local Roots Restaurant provides delicious healthy meal options.
Scioto Therapy Healing Arts Center offers yoga, massage and counseling services proven to diminish cortisol and enhance testosterone effects.
Implementing positive lifestyle changes amplifies the benefits of therapy so you regain peak vigor and joy sooner.
Because low T therapy improves so many aspects of health for middle-aged and older men, it pays to get evaluated sooner than later. The multiple chronic diseases linked to declining testosterone levels include:
- Low testosterone promotes atherosclerosis increasing heart attack and stroke risks.
- Belly fat, insulin resistance, high blood sugar and diabetes result.
- Poor memory, foggy thinking and even dementia become more common.
- Up to 75% of depressed men over 50 have mildly low testosterone. Optimizing levels often elevates mood.
Therefore, we urge men noticing sexual, physical and emotional changes consistent with sliding T levels to get tested now before consequences escalate. Second Spring Hormone Clinic skilled staff and state-of-the-art care facilitates accurate diagnosis and customized therapies for the best possible improvements. Please call us today to begin your journey toward renewed vigor and health.
