Testimonial from Local So. Cal Officer: Testosterone Therapy*

I’ve been a police officer for decades and have sustained many injuries from the job. Seven years ago I underwent major back surgery and had intestinal and hernia complications. My body’s production of testosterone abruptly stopped after the surgery. I’ve tried multiple replacement options.

With all the above stated benefits and improvements with testosterone therapy, why wouldn’t every man above age 40 be on testosterone supplementation?

This is because testosterone hormone is not something that could be easily taken without any monitoring. Furthermore, not every physician is trained or up to date with the different methods of how to administer and optimize testosterone levels. An individual should choose the physician appropriately as to their knowledge base and experience with testosterone optimization. Such physicians will have the appropriate questions, performed appropriate laboratory testing, along with any other necessary testing before starting patients on testosterone optimization therapy. They should have experience in different methods of optimization therapy such as transdermal creams, intramuscular injections, and even subcutaneous pellet implantations. There must be appropriate follow-up with the patient to monitor the progress of symptoms, and be alerted on possible side effects, along with a very frequent monitoring of laboratory values.

When under the supervision of a specialized physician experienced in testosterone optimization therapy, an individual can get the optimal and maximum benefits of testosterone therapy with avoidance of any side effects that may be possible. Most side effects that are linked to testosterone optimization therapy are easily reversible.
