Revitalize Your Health With Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Toronto

Testosterone Deficiency (TD) refers to the abnormally low production of the male sex hormone testosterone in the body by the gonads (testes). Testosterone is responsible

• For the development of the primary male sexual organs like the testes and the prostate and the overall male urino-genital tract.
• Maintaining primary sexual characteristics like libido, erection, and ejaculation volumes.
• Development of voice, facial, and pubic hair.

However, testosterone is also crucial for

• Maintaining a healthy skeletal muscle mass,
• Bone mineral density,
• Providing cardioprotection,
• Preventing central adiposity
• Maintaining mood, concentration, and cognitive functions

all of which majorly affect overall health and mental well-being. TD causes men to lose out on lean muscle mass, develop a bulging belly due to increased central adiposity, face difficulties in getting an erection and the desired ejaculation volume, face low or sometimes even lack their sexual drive, undergo constant mood swings and irritation, cope up with multiple cognitive issues, face sleep disturbances, and remain unnecessarily and unusually stressed in otherwise normal.

In Canada, every 1 in 25 people (25%) between ages 40- and 62 years face TD especially when past their thirties. The prevalence of TD is estimated to be 4–12% in men aged 50–59 years, 9–23% in men aged 60–69 years, and 28–49% in men over 70 years old. Scientifically speaking, there is a steady decline in the annual levels of testosterone by 1% every year after a man reaches his thirties. However, this decline does not cause a significant change in lifestyle for everyone. Men in their middle and old ages may face issues in overall health with declining levels of testosterone, but that alone, may or may not be a determinant behind it.

Figure description: There is a gradual decline in testosterone levels with age and with time. In your twenties, you are at your peak testosterone levels. There is a decline from your thirties till your old age. This is natural for everyone but may present itself with symptoms in some. This is when you will need TRT to ensure these symptoms do not bother your daily life.

TD can be treated by Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) but it is not a ‘one size fits all’ formula. TRT for older men may not be the same for low testosterone in men below 50. It depends on your blood report and medical history. Some medical conditions can also cause TD, apart from your age, including

• Surgeries for brain trauma, tumor, cancer, and radiotherapy
• Klinefelter's syndrome (where there are two X and one Y chromosome instead of the usual one X and one Y chromosome, leading to irregular formation of the testes)
• Undescended testes (an abnormality during birth)
• Excess iron in blood (leading to hemochromatosis)
• Injuries to the testes
• Mumps orchitis (having mumps infection in the testes)
• Medications like opioids, glucocorticoids
• Substance abuse, drugs

At any point in time, when you feel the need to get tested for any abnormal condition in your body, the first resort should be comprehensive bloodwork and a self-assessment of whether you might need TRT or not. A good way to self-analyse is by taking the ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males) questionnaire online.
