Clinical & Technical Details

Testosterone Physiology and Hypogonadism

Testosterone is produced primarily in the testes (and adrenal glands) under LH signaling from the pituitary. Primary hypogonadism involves testicular failure; secondary hypogonadism involves pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. TRT addresses deficient production but suppresses natural LH/FSH signaling, which is why fertility considerations and hematocrit monitoring are important parts of treatment.

TRT Delivery Methods

Intramuscular or subcutaneous injections provide consistent serum levels with typical dosing every 1 to 2 weeks. Topical gels offer daily application but carry transfer risk to partners and children. Pellets and oral formulations are also available in some settings. Your provider will recommend the method best aligned with your lifestyle, cost, and clinical needs.

Monitoring Parameters on Hormone Therapy

Key monitoring includes hematocrit (TRT can elevate red blood cell mass), estradiol (aromatization of testosterone), PSA in men, liver function, and lipid panel. Symptom tracking alongside labs ensures treatment is achieving clinical benefit without adverse effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hormone & testosterone replacement at Reintegration Wellness in Covington, Louisiana.

TRT is a medical treatment that restores testosterone levels in men (and in some cases women) with clinically low testosterone confirmed by symptoms and lab work. Treatment options may include injections, topical gels, or other delivery methods selected based on your preference and medical profile.
Common symptoms include fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, and sleep disruption. These symptoms overlap with many conditions, which is why lab confirmation and a thorough medical evaluation are essential before starting treatment.
Baseline labs typically include total and free testosterone, estradiol, CBC, CMP, lipid panel, and PSA (for men). Thyroid function and other hormone markers may be added based on your history. Follow-up labs are scheduled to monitor response and adjust dosing.
Yes. We provide hormone replacement therapy for women including estrogen and progesterone support, individualized to symptoms, age, medical history, and lab results. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively with ongoing monitoring.
After starting TRT, follow-up labs are typically drawn at 6 to 12 weeks to assess levels and adjust dosing. Once stable, monitoring every 3 to 6 months is common. Regular follow-up ensures hematocrit, estradiol, and PSA (for men) remain in safe ranges.
