Testosterone therapy refers to the medical treatment of low testosterone levels in men, also known as low T. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining male characteristics, such as muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive. Low testosterone levels can cause various symptoms, including fatigue, reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass.
Testosterone therapy involves the administration of synthetic testosterone to increase testosterone levels in the body. The therapy can be delivered through various methods, including injections, gels, patches, and pellets. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the individual’s needs and medical condition.
Testosterone therapy primarily treats men with hypogonadism, a medical condition where the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone. It may also be prescribed to treat conditions such as delayed puberty, osteoporosis, and certain types of breast cancer. However, like any medical treatment, testosterone therapy can have potential risks and side effects and should only be prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation of the individual’s medical history and overall health.
Testosterone therapy can help with a variety of medical conditions, including:
Hypogonadism is a medical condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone, the hormone responsible for developing male characteristics. There are two types of hypogonadism: primary hypogonadism, which occurs when there is a problem with the testicles, and secondary hypogonadism, which occurs when there is a problem with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus.
Low testosterone levels can cause a range of symptoms, including decreased sex drive, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, and decreased bone density. Testosterone Therapy is the primary treatment for hypogonadism, and it involves the administration of synthetic testosterone to increase testosterone levels in the body.
Testosterone therapy can be delivered through various methods, including injections, gels, patches, and pellets. The choice of delivery method depends on the individual’s needs, lifestyle, and personal preference. Injections are typically given every two to four weeks, gels and patches are applied daily to the skin, and pellets are inserted under the skin and release testosterone into the bloodstream over several months.
Testosterone therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for hypogonadism, and it can help alleviate symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass. In addition to improving symptoms, Testosterone Therapy can also improve bone density, cognitive function, and sexual function.
Delayed puberty is when an individual’s natural pubertal development is slower than expected. It is a relatively rare condition that affects approximately 1% of adolescents. Delayed puberty can significantly impact an individual’s physical and emotional development and lead to psychological distress, social isolation, and low self-esteem.
Testosterone therapy may be used to stimulate the onset of puberty in boys with delayed puberty. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a critical role in developing male characteristics, such as muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive. In boys with delayed puberty, synthetic testosterone administration can help increase testosterone levels and stimulate the onset of puberty.
Testosterone therapy for delayed puberty can help to promote physical and emotional development, improve bone density, increase muscle mass, and improve sex drive. It can also help to alleviate the psychological distress associated with delayed puberty, such as low self-esteem and social isolation.

It is more common in women than men and is often associated with menopause, which causes a decline in estrogen levels. However, low testosterone levels in men can also contribute to the development of osteoporosis.

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care.
I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
