What is Male Hypogonadism and What Causes It?

Male Hypogonadism: This condition occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone, the hormone responsible for male characteristics and sexual function. Causes can include injury, genetic factors, aging, or medical conditions like pituitary disorders. Symptoms include low libido, fatigue, depression, and muscle weakness. At Aura, we diagnose hypogonadism through blood tests and provide personalized treatment plans.

How Does Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) Work?

Testosterone Therapy: TRT helps restore normal testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism. It can be administered through injections, patches, gels, or pellets, based on your preferences and medical needs. At Aura, we follow Endocrine Society guidelines to ensure safe and effective treatment that reduces symptoms while minimizing risks.

Are There Risks Involved with Testosterone Therapy?

Potential Risks: While TRT is generally safe, it’s important to monitor for potential side effects like increased red blood cell count, sleep apnea, and prostate concerns. At Aura, we monitor your progress regularly to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
