Rather than simply chasing your symptoms, our providers delve into the underlying causes of hormonal related symptoms to deliver treatments tailored for your health, body, and lifestyle.

The use of doctor-prescribed testosterone replacement therapy is safe and can be effective for men who are diagnosed with consistently abnormal low testosterone production and symptoms that are associated with this type of androgen deficiency.  You’ve heard the hype. You may have even heard of “manopause”, but testosterone supplements aren’t the anti-aging cure-alls that they’re marketed for frequently.

TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT

IS APPROPRIATE FOR A COMBINATION OF LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS AND THE PRESENCE OF ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS:
• Drop in sex drive (libido)
• Reduced energy
• Erectile dysfunction (ED—inability to get or keep an erection) and loss of spontaneous erections
• Lowered sperm count and infertility (inability to have children)
• Breast enlargement or tenderness
• Increased irritability, inability to concentrate, and depressed mood
• Hot flashes (when testosterone levels are very low

–> It is critical that we monitor as many of the factors as possible that may be involved with a low T diagnosis.  Only focusing on the “numbers” with more and more testosterone can cause major problems, including erectile dysfunction!  Don’t put your health at risk with the testosterone “mills” that underappreciate the importance of individualized care.  The treatment may seem fairly straight forward, but it should never be taken lightly!

Erectile Dysfunction

Approximately one out of ten men experience erectile dysfunction, and approximately 40% of men over the age of 50 experience ED, which is characterized by the inability to achieve an erection, degree of hardness insufficient for penetration, or a lack of staying power.

ED is often the “canary in the coal mine” and is more complex than is often recognized.  Many assume that Testosterone is the fix for this but it is only a small part of the equation.  The mechanism of an erection involves psychological, neurological, endocrine, vascular, and local anatomic systems.  At Attain Health Omaha we are focused on the cause(s) of your symptoms as part of your Program.  Simply chasing your symptoms or chasing a testosterone number on your blood tests is akin to chasing your tail.  This is not a “one size fits all” scenario.  We effectively address the symptoms but for true correction the cause(s) must be addressed.
