Low testosterone, also called low T or hypogonadism, is a medical condition where the body does not produce enough of the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is essential for men's health and regulates many body functions.
Symptoms of low T may include:
Causes of low T include:
Low T affects 15-39% of men over age 45. Diagnosis is made with a simple blood test. The good news is low testosterone is treatable with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Testosterone replacement can provide immense benefits for men with low T levels, such as:
Many men report feeling 10-15 years younger after starting TRT due to increased energy, stamina, and ability to be active. TRT helps reverse fatigue and "brain fog".
Libido and sexual function rely heavily on adequate testosterone. TRT commonly leads to improved sex drive, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction.
Testosterone stimulates protein synthesis and growth of lean muscle. TRT helps men regain muscle mass and strength - leading to easier weight and fat loss.
Low T is linked to depression, irritability, and reduced motivation. Many men report improved mood, cognitive abilities, and overall well-being on TRT.
Studies show testosterone has beneficial impacts on heart health and bone mineral density - reducing risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
Overall, TRT can help men feel healthier, stronger, and more youthful. It improves energy, sex drive, body composition, mood, heart health, and quality of life.

Come experience the difference an attentive, caring clinic like New Beginnings HRT Clinic can make for your low T symptoms and male health.
The first step in treating low T is getting an accurate diagnosis. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic we evaluate several lab tests - not just total testosterone level - for a complete picture.
Key lab tests checked to assess testosterone status include:
Other relevant tests check vitamin D, estrogen, thyroid, cholesterol, PSA levels, and markers of heart health.
Symptom questionnaires are also used to score low T severity including:
Pinpointing the underlying cause and related health factors allow us to develop targeted treatment plans.
Accurately diagnosing low testosterone requires assessing symptoms along with comprehensive lab testing - not just one testosterone number. The medical team at New Beginnings HRT Clinic specializes in fully evaluating hormone deficiencies using best standard-of-care methods.
Testosterone levels fluctuate daily and range widely between men. "Low T" is clinically diagnosed when total T levels fall below 300 ng/dL on two early morning blood draws.
However, some men feel symptomatic with higher T levels like 400-600 ng/dL if levels were previously higher. We evaluate history and symptoms along with lab results to guide individualized treatments.
The goal is optimizing T levels to alleviate low T symptoms for each patient - not necessarily reaching a particular number. Treatment effectiveness is assessed by symptom improvements and follow-up lab testing.
The medical providers at New Beginnings HRT Clinic tailor testosterone replacement regimens to each patient's needs and preferences. We offer all leading forms of treatment including injections, gels, pellets, and more to target low T.
Testosterone injections are administered weekly or every 2 weeks intramuscularly. Testosterone enanthate, cypionate or undecanoate injectable preparations can be used.
Testosterone gels/creams provide daily topical dosing. Gels include Androgel and Testim. Topical solutions take effect more slowly than injections but provide stable testosterone levels.
Testosterone pellets release testosterone consistently over 3-6 months from bio-identical implants placed under the skin. Pellets avoid frequent dosing but require periodic office visits for new pellet insertions every few months.
Oral testosterone capsules or buccal testosterone tablets can also be good options for some patients.
Each TRT form has pros and cons. New Beginnings HRT Clinic testosterone doctors advise patients on which method(s) may work best based on the patient’s symptoms, preferences for dosing/needle phobia, cost, treatment goals and other medical history.
When starting TRT, testosterone levels and symptoms are first reassessed after 3 weeks to evaluate initial treatment response and adjust dosing if needed.
Patients then follow-up at 6 weeks, 3 months and every 6 months thereafter to ensure therapy remains effective and dosing appropriate. Lab testing helps guide adjustments.
Follow-up tests check:
Our clinical team partners closely with patients when initiating and adjusting therapy until benefits are reached and stabilized. We also provide continuing lifestyle recommendations and follow-up care to support optimal treatment experiences.
The medical experts at New Beginnings HRT Clinic offer fully managed initiation, careful monitoring, and maintenance of testosterone treatments uniquely tailored to each patient’s hormonal state, treatment objectives, and evolving health status over time.
Seeking proper diagnosis and timely treatment for low testosterone is crucial for men's mental and physical health.
Low testosterone often worsens gradually over months and years leading many men to wrongly chalk up symptoms to “normal aging”. In reality, bothersome signs of low T reflect an underlying hormone deficiency correctable through medical treatment.
Putting off treatment allows progression of low T effects like:
Furthermore, studies show long term, untreated low testosterone opens men up to higher risk of:
Catching and addressing declining testosterone promptly reduces likelihood of developing related health complications down the road. TRT lessens progression of symptoms and protects the body against comorbidities associated with sustained low T.
