Reno Men's Health Reno Men's Health is the first and only exclusive Men's Testosterone Replacement Therapy clinic in Northern Nevada

Researchers are uncovering more and more about testosterone and how it connects to men’s health. Through this research they have been able to connect the dots between certain health conditions and the low testosterone levels. Some of the major health problems that have been associated with low testosterone are:

Obesity
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Metabolic Syndrome
Osteoporosis
Heart Disease

Lo

w testosterone is not the only known cause for these health issues, and testosterone therapy is not the cure.

We discuss the importance of regular lab checks when undergoing hormone therapy, as well as the potential risks of high hemoglobin levels and the remedy of bloodletting or donating blood to address this issue.

As an internal medicine physician, I discuss how uncontrolled high blood pressure with fluid retention, such as swollen ankles and waking up short of breath, can be a sign of congestive heart failure. This condition can be exacerbated by testosterone replacement therapy, so I would not consider the patient an adequate candidate for hormone replacement until their blood pressure is under control and the fluid retention is addressed.

We discuss the importance of risk mitigation when supervising a medical drug. I explain that the increase in hemoglobin can occur in 20-25% of people receiving hormone replacement, and that not everyone who gets hormone replacement will develop steroid-induced acne. I emphasize the need for regular check-ups every three months to monitor for any issues. My goal is to improve the quality of life for the patient, not complicate it.

We discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy testosterone-estrogen balance when on TRT. If the estrogen level is much higher than it should be, we look to block it down to avoid estrogenic side effects. We explain the different types of estrogen molecules and how they are measured, and note that the estradiol level is the one we focus on as it is the most prevalent in the body.

03/29/2025

We discuss the need for blood removal due to high hemoglobin levels, and go over the potential complications of testosterone replacement therapy. Not everyone will experience these complications, but since I can't predict who will, I have all patients tested every three months. This allows me to identify those at greatest risk and have them undergo blood removal, so they can continue the treatment. The consultation usually lasts 40 minutes to an hour, and I provide a pamphlet to address common questions.

We discuss the potential risks of starting someone with a history of obstructive sleep apnea on testosterone hormone therapy. While the therapy may improve the quality of their sleep, it could also block their involuntary attempts to open their airway during sleep, potentially leading to a dangerous situation where they could die in their sleep.

03/28/2025

We discuss how high hemoglobin levels, indicating increased red blood cell production, can be problematic. Too many red blood cells can fill up the vascular compartment and slow down the delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues and organs. This can lead to stagnation and clot formation in certain areas of the body. To address this, regular blood checks are done, and if the levels are too high, blood removal (phlebotomy) is the standard treatment.

The difference between total and free testosterone levels in lab reports.

03/27/2025

We discuss the criteria for disqualifying a patient from using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The key factor is if the patient's hormone levels are already in the adequate range, even if they are above the mean. If the levels are 10-15 points above the midway point, the doctor cannot justify starting the patient on TRT.

03/27/2025

We talk about the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy for individuals with low normal testosterone levels. Within a week, they begin to notice subtle improvements, and by the second and third week, the benefits become more pronounced. These include increased energy, better sleep quality, improved cognitive clarity, and a stronger desire to exercise.

03/22/2025

Testosterone Therapy can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Blood thickness is a real thing, getting regular labs lets you stay ahead of the curve and midigate risks.

03/19/2025

We talk about how males don't naturally produce estrogen, but instead convert testosterone into estrogen. If the estrogen level rises beyond a certain point, the doctor may decide to block it, as they feel this would be unnecessary and problematic.
