When levels decline, men may experience fatigue, decreased desire, and erectile dysfunction. But can testosterone therapy help restore vitality and improve sexual function? Understanding the benefits and limitations of this treatment can help determine if it’s right for you.

At the Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg, our experienced medical team, led by Dr. William L. Reno III and Dr. Paul J. Talbot, offers advanced hormone therapy solutions tailored to individual needs. Dr. Reno, a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Mississippi and a member of the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, brings over a decade of medical and surgical expertise to optimizing hormone balance. Dr. Talbot, a board-certified plastic surgeon, combines his extensive knowledge of regenerative medicine with state-of-the-art testosterone replacement therapies. 

How Does Testosterone Affect Sexual Health?

Testosterone is essential for maintaining sexual function and overall well-being. When levels drop, men may experience physical and emotional changes that impact intimacy and confidence. Here are some of the signs of low testosterone and its impact on sexual health:

  • Reduced libido: A noticeable decline in sexual desire and motivation.
  • Erectile dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
  • Fatigue and low energy: Less stamina and interest in physical intimacy.
  • Mood swings and depression: Emotional changes affecting relationships.
  • Decreased muscle mass: Physical changes that may affect self-esteem.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a medical evaluation at the Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg can determine if testosterone therapy may be a solution.

Can Testosterone Therapy Improve Sexual Performance?

Many men report significant improvements in their sexual health after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). By restoring testosterone levels to a normal range, TRT can:

  • Boost libido: Many patients experience a revived interest in intimacy.
  • Improve erectile function: Enhanced blood flow and increased stamina.
  • Increase energy levels: More endurance for physical activity, including sex.
  • Enhance mood and confidence: Reduced anxiety and improved self-esteem.

While TRT can offer these benefits, it’s essential to work with one of our qualified providers to ensure proper dosage and monitoring.

What Are the Treatment Options for Low Testosterone?

At Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg, we offer several testosterone replacement therapy options tailored to each patient’s needs:

  • Topical testosterone gels: Applied daily to the skin for gradual absorption.
  • Intramuscular injections: Administered weekly to maintain stable hormone levels.
  • Testosterone pellet therapy: A convenient option lasting 4-6 months per dose.

Each method has its advantages, and our specialists will help determine the best approach based on your lifestyle and treatment goals.

Twelve common signs of low testosterone levels

/in /by

Do you suspect that you have low levels of testosterone? If so, you may be experiencing some of these signs and symptoms that may indicate an imbalance in your hormone levels: 

  • Low sex drive – men may experience changes in their libido if their testosterone levels have declined
  • Difficulty with erections – erective dysfunction is common in men with lower levels of testosterone, and can be correct with hormonal balancing or the use of prescription medications
  • Poor semen volume – the production of semen is controlled by testosterone, and ejaculations with less semen is common in patients with low testosterone
  • Hair loss – while hair loss and balding is a natural part of aging for most men, some body and facial hair loss can be linked to hormone levels
  • Fatigue – decreased energy and extreme fatigue are common complaints in men with low levels of testosterone, which can also make it more difficult to become motivated to exercise
  • Reduced muscle mass – the building of muscle is corelated with testosterone levels, but does not impact the function or strength in those who actively play a role in working out regularly
  • Increased body fat – an increase in body fat, including breast tissue, can occur during times of low testosterone and in some instances, an increase in estrogen
  • Reduced bone mass – osteoporosis is a deterioration of the body often associated with women, but it can occur in men as well
  • Poor mood – mood swings may change during times of low or high testosterone, and can leave individuals more prone to problems such as depression and irritability
  • Memory loss/poor concentration – testosterone and cognitive functions naturally decline with age, but supplementing hormone balance with testosterone in men has shown to improve memory and concentration
  • Hypogonadism – testosterone is needed to develop the testicles and penis, so low levels of testosterone may result in smaller-than-normal private parts
  • Anemia – low blood counts can cause patients to be at an increased risk for anemia
