Reading Time: 2 minutesMost of us know that testosterone is a male steroid hormone of the androgen group, but women secrete and need testosterone too (they release about 15% the amount men do).

Reading Time: 2 minutesI want to talk to you about mood swings, and their possibility, when using testosterone. When you inject testosterone it can rapidly increase your hormone levels if the product does not have an ester attached to it. Esters slow the release of testosterone in the body, so you get a smoother experience with injectable testosterone. The smoothest release of testosterone is with cream, because you are doing it on a daily basis at the same time each day with the same dose. This helps you to avoid the roller coaster when injecting Testosterone, or applying a transdermal gel or lotion … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minuteTestosterone injections aren't generally discussed as a first line treatment option when starting testosterone replacement. There are many androgen preparations on the market such as; gels (Androgel and Testim), creams, pills (Andriol), pellets and patches. However the marketing efforts of pharmaceutical companies are quite effective at influencing your doctor's prescribing habits away from the older and more effective (testosterone shots/injections). What's sad to say... they are all inferior to the much older technology of testosterone injections, IM (intramuscular) when treating hypogonadism. It's not what you'd generally think is supposed to happen. Isn't medical science supposed to come out with newer … Read more »

Only men with symptoms of low testosterone and blood levels that confirm this as the cause of symptoms should consider testosterone replacement.

Reading Time: 2 minutesMany people have general misunderstandings about the term hypogonadism, thinking it's just a fancy term for low testosterone, but actually it's a broad name for a class of dimnished function in the gonads (testes in men and ovaries in woman). There are numerous variations of hypogonadism, with really long tongue-twisting names, for example: hypergonadotropic, hypogonadotropic and isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Another descriptive diagnosis for low testosterone is Androgen Deficiency Syndrome or hypoandrogenism.  Androgen Deficiency more accurately described is a medical disease associated with problematic or diminished androgen functionality. This being said, it is not inaccurate to clinically diagnose testosterone deficiency as hypogonadism, in the same way … Read more »
