SIDE EFFECTS OF TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
As with any medical treatment side effects are generally a
possibility. But, going to the right medical professional is the
difference on experiencing them or not. At Mantality Health, we
monitor your treatment with licensed physicians so that we can
minimize the possibility of experiencing symptoms by keeping
your testosterone levels in the optimal range. This helps reduce
the side effects of testosterone replacement therapy.
THE SIDE EFFECTS OF TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY ALONG WITH
THE RISKS AND BENEFITS
With any medical practice and procedure comes both benefits and
risks. We must weigh those potential risks or side effects of
testosterone replacement therapy against the benefits of TRT.
Just like any other treatment or procedure in the medical world,
side effects are always related to how the treatment is
administered and how well it is monitored by certified
professionals.
Testosterone has always had the association with bodybuilding
and gym related activities which are normally administered under
unsupervised circumstances at abnormally high levels. This
produces extreme side effects and sometimes even life
threatening circumstances, this is where a licensed medical
professional comes in to play. If you begin treatment of
testosterone (TRT) and it becomes mismanaged or done while not
being monitored, you will generally have a higher rate of
negative side effects as well as a lack of beneficial results.
To address these, we must understand the side effects of
testosterone replacement therapy while also paying close
attention to the treatment method when experiencing Low T.
WHY SIDE EFFECTS HAPPEN DURING TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Your body has a natural state, and when we introduce "exogenous
testosterone" or testosterone that is not produced naturally in
the body, it tends to respond to that. But, pharmaceutical
testosterone is a bio-identical testosterone that your body
recognizes and uses just as it would naturally occurring
testosterone. At Mantality, we use pharmaceutical grade
testosterone that is bio-identical to the body, and side effects
occur only in the when you have elevated testosterone levels.
While there are some side effects that are just the body's
natural response to metabolizing testosterone.
DOES TESTOSTERONE THERAPY AFFECT FERTILITY?
You may have lost interest in intercourse and that could be why
you're doing TRT because as we all know, a positive affect from
TRT is an increase in performance and drive. But, many ask the
question, does testosterone therapy affect fertility? The true
answer is yes and no. Let us explain:
Testosterone Replacement Therapy increases testosterone levels
which affects the part of the brain (the hypothalamus and
pituitary gland) which produces a chemical called
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH speaks with the
pituitary gland to tell it to produce two other hormones:
luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
FSH tells your testicles to produce sperm cells while FH
triggers the production of testosterone. This is where the
natural problem of Low T occurs. If this cycle fails, your body
quits producing testosterone and your begin experiencing
fatigue, stubborn fat, trouble losing weight, decreased sex
drive and more. During Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
you may experience fertility issues because your body sees
testosterone present.
DOES TESTOSTERONE THERAPY EFFECT PROSTATE HEALTH?
While there are multiple studies about how testosterone
replacement therapy can affect your prostate health, there are
NO links between undergoing TRT and prostate health. In a
recent study by Dr. Stacy Loeb, there was no negative link found
between the two (TRT and prostate health), in fact, the study
found that 50% of the men had a decrease in their future risk
for prostate cancer.
You must understand that men who have a history of prostate
cancer, Low T treatment isn't generally advised, that's why we
staff medical physicians to further assess your medical history
and see if you're fit for treatment. Elevated testosterone
levels can have the possibility to cause prostate lesions to
grow. As we stated above, testosterone is not a factor in
prostate cancer. There are a plethora of factors that affect or
cause prostate cancer such as low serum levels but TRT does not
have a direct relation with prostate cancer.
DOES TESTOSTERONE THERAPY CAUSE MY BLOOD TO THICKEN?
While going through TRT, your blood may possibly thicken. This
is due to a increase in red blood cell counts known as
erythrocytosis. This is when the more "solid" portion of your
blood, as you undergo treatment, the amount of red blood cells
increase resulting in thicker blood. Under the supervision of
medical professionals, this can be easily avoided by donating
blood when needed.
CAN YOU DO TREATMENT WITHOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS?
While almost every medical treatment can cause side effects,
with testosterone replacement therapy, these are easily managed
through the close supervision during your treatment. The medical
staff at Mantality understand what to watch for and how to
monitor you during your treatment to ensure that the treatment
makes you look better, feel better and perform better in all
aspects of life.
