Male Hormone Replacement Therapy

Male Hormone Replacement Therapy in Miami, Fl

It’s natural for a man’s testosterone to decrease over time — 40% of men age 45 and over in the U.S. experience male hypogonadism, better known as “Low Testosterone”. Most commonly, low testosterone levels can impact your mood, libido, and overall quality of your life. In fact, it may begin sooner than you think. A man’s testosterone can start to decline as soon as his early forties, and it can continue declining anywhere from 1-2% per year as he ages.

Fortunately, aging doesn’t mean a reduced quality of life — especially not when under the care of Dr. Shapiro. Through Dr. Shapiro’s personalized 90-Day Treatment Plans, patients treated for low testosterone can avoid unwanted weight gain, low libido, or decreased mood and energy. Redefine aging and feel more like your old self with our personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Men over the age of 30 who complain of an unexplained decrease in energy, libido, mood, or mental focus, as well as weight gain, should consider an HRT evaluation with Dr. Shapiro. Men who also complain of poor mental focus or productivity at work, as well as those at risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity, may also be good candidates for an HRT evaluation.

With any prescribed medication, there may be a risk of side effects if the medication is not prescribed correctly. Dr. Shapiro takes the prescribing approach of “start low and go slow” in terms of optimizing and balancing male hormones. Common side effects of excessive testosterone dosing include uncontrolled blood pressure, symptoms of prostate enlargement, oily skin, acne, mood changes, as well as gynecomastia.

Optimizing testosterone starts to work within days. There are several different ways to deliver testosterone which include cream, injection, pellet, and dissolvable lozenge. Depending on which type of delivery system being used will determine the rate of testosterone optimization. Within one week, you can expect a noticeable change in how you feel which should continue as your hormones start to get balanced. Generally speaking, every person is different and as such, HRT can take varying amounts of time to reach the goal of resolving Low T symptoms. Dr. Shapiro’s programs are designed to work quickly, with the majority of the symptoms improved within 90 days.
