Testosterone treatments Troutdale

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 known as hypogonadism or Low T. Symptoms of Low T include low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, mood issues, and reduced libido.

Fortunately, through Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) these symptoms can be improved dramatically. Hormone Health Center in Troutdale specializes in TRT treatments to help men optimize their health, vitality and quality of life.

Diagnosing Low Testosterone

The first step is diagnosing low testosterone levels through a simple blood test. Hormone Health Center performs thorough testing to check total testosterone, free testosterone, and other key hormones. If low T is detected, our physicians create customized treatment plans to restore healthy testosterone levels.

Key signs of low testosterone:

• Low energy and fatigue


• Decreased muscle mass


• Weight gain, increased body fat


• Mood issues like irritability or depression


• Reduced libido and sexual performance

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

TRT aims to restore testosterone to optimal levels, providing dramatic improvements such as:

• Increased energy and vitality - With healthy testosterone levels, most men experience a surge in energy, productivity and an enhanced zest for life.


• Improved strength and lean muscle mass - Testosterone plays a crucial role in building and maintaining muscle. TRT enhances fitness levels and strength.


• Weight loss and reduced body fat - By improving metabolism, testosterone helps burn fat while building stronger muscle composition.


• Better mood and mental clarity - Many men note improvements in mood, motivation and cognitive abilities with normalized testosterone.


• Enhanced libido and sexual health - For most men, restoring testosterone leads to improved sexual desire and performance.

TRT Treatment Protocols

If low testosterone is detected, Hormone Health Center physicians design customized treatment plans that are carefully monitored to achieve ideal hormone balance.

Common TRT protocols include:

• Testosterone injections - The most effective TRT protocol, providing immediate increases in testosterone levels. Injections are administered weekly or bi-weekly.


• Testosterone gels/creams - Topical gels supply testosterone through daily skin application. Levels may fluctuate day-to-day.


• Testosterone pellets - Pellets implanted under the skin supply steady testosterone release over 4-6 months. Requires minor surgical procedure.


• Clomiphene citrate - An oral medication that stimulates natural testosterone production in some men.


• HCG therapy - HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) can preserve fertility during TRT.
