Testosterone Therapy

What Is Testosterone Therapy?

Testosterone therapy is a prescription hormone treatment that may be considered by a licensed healthcare provider when clinically appropriate. In men, testosterone therapy may be evaluated as part of a treatment plan for symptoms sometimes associated with low testosterone levels, such as low energy, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, weight changes, and other related concerns.

Although testosterone is commonly associated with male hormone health, women also naturally produce small amounts of testosterone. In some cases, a healthcare provider may prescribe testosterone therapy for women experiencing hormonal balance concerns, including perimenopause, menopause, or other hormone-related symptoms when clinically appropriate.

At Alorah Wellness, testosterone therapy may be prescribed through a secure telehealth process following review by a licensed provider. Your provider evaluates your medical history, symptoms, and relevant laboratory findings to determine whether treatment may be appropriate. If prescribed, your provider will oversee your care and may adjust your treatment plan as medically necessary.
