Fatigue, of course, can be caused by more than just low T levels. You may have an undiagnosed medical condition that’s draining your energy. Your thyroid might not produce enough thyroid hormone, for example.
When you come to Invigorate Health, our hormone therapy doctors evaluate you with a comprehensive physical examination and blood tests to determine all of the factors involved in your fatigue. If you do have low T, other related symptoms can exacerbate your low energy.
For instance, when your T levels drop, you don’t replace muscle as easily. You also start to accumulate more body fat. With more fat, less muscle mass, and less energy, you feel less motivated to work out.
Low T also causes insomnia, which prevents you from getting a good night’s rest. In the morning, you’re groggy, unfocused, and just plain sleepy.
If lack of T leads to symptoms that feed into the fatigue cascade, then raising T levels can get you back on track to full-on energy. Even a normal T level of 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) or more could still be too low in some men. We custom design a T-replacement therapy for you, which includes an adjustment period where we find the right dose to give you back your energy and strength.
Once your T levels are in the normal range for your biology, your symptoms start to resolve. In addition to more energy, you can expect:
To maintain your benefits, you need to keep up with your low-T treatments. Our Long Island men’s health clinic may also recommend other therapies, including thyroid medication.
