Testosterone treatments Durham

Overview of Testosterone Deficiency

Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline leading to a condition called hypogonadism or Low T. Testosterone deficiency can cause various signs and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life, such as:

• Low sex drive and erectile dysfunction


• Loss of muscle mass and strength


• Increased body fat and difficulty losing weight


• Fatigue, low motivation and depression


• Poor concentration, memory loss and moodiness

The Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively treat testosterone deficiency. With customized TRT treatment plans tailored to your unique health profile, our experienced TRT specialists at Vitality Wellness Clinic in Durham help men successfully restore testosterone levels.

Benefits of TRT include:

• Increased sex drive and erectile function


• Boosted energy levels, motivation and wellbeing


• Greater muscle mass and strength


• Decreased body fat and easier weight loss


• Sharper memory, concentration and focus

Diagnosing Low Testosterone

If struggling with potential low testosterone symptoms, the first step is diagnostic testing to check current testosterone status and determine if hormone deficiency exists.

We offer comprehensive lab testing and analysis of key hormones including total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH and more. Testing provides accurate data to properly evaluate hormone balance and guide precise, personalized treatment plans.

Vitality Wellness Clinic TRT Protocols and Procedures

Once diagnosed with low testosterone, TRT programs at Vitality Wellness Clinic involve testosterone shots or topical testosterone creams/gels to safely restore optimal testosterone levels.

Our detailed TRT procedures include:

• Initial assessment – We conduct a complete medical history, physical examination, lab testing and evaluation to properly diagnose hormone imbalance and design customized treatment protocols.


• TRT administration – Self-administered testosterone shots or daily testosterone creams/gels are easy and effective methods to elevate testosterone. Injections offer advantages of fewer weekly applications and more stable testosterone levels compared to daily gels.


• Follow-up and monitoring – Routine lab tests, progress evaluations and dosage adjustments ensure therapy is working optimally to resolve low testosterone symptoms and reach treatment goals.

Lifestyle Recommendations

Complementing TRT with positive lifestyle changes can enhance quality of life and amplify the benefits of normalized testosterone levels. We provide lifestyle guidance on:

• Healthy nutrition – Diets higher in lean proteins, vegetables and anti-inflammatory fats


• Regular exercise – Weight/resistance training to build muscle, increase metabolism and burn fat


• Stress management – Relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga and deep breathing


• Quality sleep – Aim for 7-9 hours nightly for optimal testosterone production


• Preventative care – Regular checkups, screenings, vaccines
