What is testosterone? We don’t stop producing testosterone because we age, we age because we stop producing testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone produced by both men and women. It’s produced in the testicles by men, and in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. Testosterone starts to decline as we age. It Is responsible for several physical and mental functions.

Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? Taking certain medications will also lower your testosterone levels. All it takes is a blood test in our clinic to determine whether or not your hormones are insufficient. The cost of the hormone panel is $ 165.00 for females and $180.00 for males. This hormone panel for females includes total testosterone, estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, progesterone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T-3, thyroid antibodies, complete blood count, Vitamin D, and HA1C. For males, we will test total testosterone, prolactin, estradiol, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T-3, thyroid antibodies, PSA, complete blood count, Vitamin D, and HA1C.
Treatments for Low Testosterone:
Once we obtain your blood work, we can treat you the same day with a loading dose of testosterone. Your lab results will be back from Texas State Clinical Labs in just one week. A follow-up visit with the Clinician will be scheduled to go over your lab result with you. This is crucial because your labs will determine how much and how long your testosterone treatments will last.
There are two ways to treat low testosterone. Weekly injections of a low or high dose, or bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. It’s also referred to as a “Pelleting Procedure.” This is also performed at our clinic and takes 30 minutes or less. The procedure is painless and lasts up to six months. Watch the video attached titled “bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.”
