What are the Benefits of Testosterone Replacement?
I have many patients here in Nashville who have been on testosterone replacement for years. Like any medical treatment, responses vary.
- Some men report no obvious changes in well-being.
- Some men report clear obvious, significant improvements in well-being.
- The majority of patients report some degree of improvement of clinical well-being.
In a given individual, it is impossible to predict the clinical response. If a clinical response occurs, it is usually sustained over the years. The clinical benefits symptomatically reported include the following:
- Global improvement in well-being.
- Greater energy and ability to complete a day’s demanding work.
- Improved sexual desire.
- Improved erectile function.
- Improved mood.
Taking the long view of longevity over the decades, it is well-recognized that many people lose approximately 50% of their muscle mass between the ages of 40 to 70. Testosterone is known to preserve muscle and bone mass.
What are the Adverse Effects of Testosterone Replacement?
Testosterone is a growth hormone. The most common adverse effect is an increase in the red blood cell mass, which is called polycythemia. If this occurs, blood donation at the Red Cross is the treatment.
In the past, testosterone was the source of controversy. Previously, some physicians believed that testosterone replacement is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction. After substantial research published in The New England Journal of Medicine, that view has not been supported. For decades, urologists believed that testosterone promoted prostatic cancer. Through the persistent pioneering work of Abraham Morgentaler MD at Harvard, the view that testosterone promoted prostate cancer has been discredited.
Staying on Suboxone with Testosterone
There is no moral superiority in testosterone deficiency. There is no requirement for graduation or discontinuation. My focus is long-term stability.
In areas of life which are often colored by moral stigma and severe adverse consequences, I share your pain, hold your privacy close, and celebrate your transition to greater strength and vitality in your arc of life. Book a consultation to explore your health status and options, today.
Why is Testosterone Replacement Important for Men on Suboxone?
In my Suboxone practice in Nashville, I offer testosterone replacement. Many recipients work in the trades or construction, often 50-70 hours per week.
Physical strength and endurance matter. Being strong is important for a man, particularly in Nashville’s booming, but competitive economy. On each visit, we focus on how a man is functioning at work and in daily life.
Suboxone may suppress testosterone. Every man on suboxone thereapy via my Nashville suboxone clinic is at risk for testosterone deficiency. If a patient on Suboxone has symptoms of testosterone deficiency, we discuss whether the evaluation and treatment align with goals and preferences.
How We Approach Testosterone at Our Practice
If you have symptoms of testosterone deficiency which are bothersome to you, then you will obtain laboratory results to confirm low testosterone. This is done once. Your baseline CBC and PSA will also be established.
Testosterone can be given orally, by injection, or by application of a gel. The most-effective, least-expensive treatment is injection. I teach the patient the injection technique while providing a specific prescription for needles and syringes. My patients easily master the technique of home injection.
The prescribed dose is physiological, not pharmacologic. I do not provide testosterone for the purpose of body building.
