Fast Care for Your Urgent Needs

Here at Health Express NJ we can evaluate and treat for low testosterone (Low T). We are happy to put these visits through your insurance, as long as your insurance is accepted at our office. Please call the office to check insurance participation. Our providers are experienced in the evaluation of low testosterone, the various methods of treatment, and your progress will be medically monitored along the way.

Low testosterone is a condition in which the testicles don’t produce enough testosterone. It has several possible causes, including conditions or injuries affecting your testicles, pituitary gland or hypothalamus. It’s treatable with testosterone replacement therapy.

Testosterone stimulates the development of male characteristics and is essential for sperm production (spermatogenesis). Levels of testosterone are naturally much higher in men than women.

In men, testosterone helps maintain and develop muscle mass, adequate levels of red blood cells, bone density, sense of well-being, and sexual function.

Some men with low testosterone do not have any symptoms. Others may have:

• Low sex drive
• Trouble with erection
• Low sperm count
• Trouble sleeping 
• Decrease in muscle size and strength
• Bone loss
• Increase in body fat
• Depression or mood changes
• Trouble concentrating

Our provider will perform a thorough evaluation of your medical history, a physical examination, and order appropriate blood work to check your hormone levels. On your next visit we will discuss your blood work and offer suggestions for testosterone replacement if needed. We will discuss lifestyle changes to increase your testosterone, proven vitamins and supplements, and discuss testosterone replacement therapy which can be offered by injection, pill, or transdermal patches.
