TESTOSTERONE

Testosterone, commonly thought of as the “man hormone”, is found in both males and females and has profound effects on the body both mentally and physically. Testosterone therapy can be delivered in many different forms, but in males Dr. Thompson believes the best option is injectable. This allows us to continuously monitor and adjust the patient’s levels and keep them optimal at all times. With other forms of testosterone therapy we find that there are big fluctuations in levels of testosterone which can lead to negative side effects.

For our female patients, Dr. Thompson sees optimal results with topical testosterone administration due to the fact that female optimal levels are much lower than in males. We also see excellent results using injectable testosterone and this method allows us the ability to regulate the patient’s testosterone perfectly.
