Creams For Low Testosterone Levels
Testosterone
Creams
 What form
of Testosterone is right for you? For guys that are struggling with
Testosterone Deficiency, there are a lot of effective methods to
restore optimum Testosterone Balance. Testosterone Deficiency causes
many problems which are related to the aging process, and by
restoring Healthy Testosterone Levels in the body, it is possible to
mitigate many symptoms of premature aging, and postpone certain
aspects of the aging process.
Low-T
and Hypogonadism
Another
name for Testosterone Deficiency is Male Hypogonadism. Hypogonadism
refers to a medical condition which causes the sex organs to produce
abnormally low levels of the sex hormones. In women, this means that
they produce diminished levels of estrogen, estradiol, or other
feminine sex hormones. For men, Hypogonadism refers to abnormally low
production of Testosterone by the Testes.
Testosterone
Deficiency and Aging
Low-T has
the potential to speed up the aging process, making you feel older
and more feeble than you actually should for your age. One of the
simplest and easiest ways to perform Testosterone Hormone Replacement
Therapy is through the application of a Testosterone Cream. There are
many forms, including Androgel, Testim, and
First Testosterone. These Testosterone Medications work by absorbing
Testosterone directly into the body through the skin.
Testosterone
Absorbs Easily into the Skin
Because of
the biological makeup of Testosterone, it absorbs easily into the
skin, making this a highly effective route of administration. Other
hormone treatments, such as Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy
and Sermorelin Acetate Therapy can only be delivered via injection,
but Testosterone can be delivered via multiple methods including
injection, spray, cream, patch, and dermal implant.
Bio-Identical
Testosterone
The goal
of Testosterone Hormone Replacement Therapy is simple. In order to
treat a man with Testosterone Deficiency, a medical professional will
prescribe a Bio-Identical Testosterone Treatment. Bio-Identical means
exactly what it sounds like it means. Bio-Identical Testosterone is
molecularly the same as the Testosterone created by the male testes,
but it is synthesized using safe laboratory methods.
Any form
of Testosterone Treatment that is delivered once daily likely uses a
pure form of Testosterone combined with emulsifiers which aid in
absorption. Testosterone Injections and other forms of Testosterone
which are intended for less frequent administration are usually
combined to ester compounds or other inert molecules which function
expressly to slow down the rate at which Testosterone is absorbed by
the system.
Today, the
two most popular forms of Testosterone Treatment are Testosterone
Injections and Creams. Creams are chosen because they
are so easy to apply. Just rub a little bit underneath your arm or
into your shoulder once per day and that is all that it takes. Other
people like Testosterone Injections because they take fewer
applications.
How Are
Testosterone Injections Delivered?
Testosterone
Injections are delivered into the body using a method known as
Intramuscular Injection. Testosterone is delivered via needle
directly into muscle tissue, where, dependent upon the formulation,
additional doses are required anywhere ranging from every other day
to every other week.
Other
Forms of Testosterone Replacement
Although
both of these forms of administration have their pros and cons, there
are other newer products becoming available which are quickly
increasing in popularity. Testosterone Patches, for example, provide
the same benefits as Testosterone Creams, but are absorbed by the
body more slowly throughout the course of the day. Many people still
prefer creams, however, because Testosterone Patches can lead to skin
irritation more easily than creams.
 There are
also Testosterone Dermal Implants, which are popular with a certain
subset of patients interested in applying medication as infrequently
as possible. Testosterone Implants are surgically implanted just
beneath the skin, and deliver Testosterone at a steady rate over the
course of multiple months. Because these implants are a surgical
outpatient procedure, some people are hesitant to choose this method
of Testosterone Treatment, but others love it because it represents
the least hassle.
How to
Use Testosterone Creams
In order
to get the greatest benefit from your Testosterone Replacement Cream,
you will apply the treatment once every day in order to allow
Testosterone Levels to remain abundant throughout your treatment. Not
adhering to the once-daily treatments will cause the benefits to
onset much more slowly. The ideal places to apply the cream are to
the stomach, shoulders, thighs, or upper arms. Many doctors think
that the best place to apply Testosterone Gels and Creams is to the
back of the knee!
Never
apply Testosterone Creams to the testes or penis because this will
cause the cream to absorb to quickly and can increase the risk of
certain side-effects. Also, it is important to apply the cream to
healthy areas of the skin. This means that it is important to avoid
applying Testosterone Cream to areas with bruises, cuts, and open
sores. All of this can have a negative impact on the way that the
medication is absorbed in to the body.
Most
physicians recommend applying Testosterone Creams when you first wake
up in the morning, but there are various recommendations dependent
upon the brand that you choose. Androgel, for example, recommends
applying the cream to the stomach, upper arms, or shoulders. The
instructions for Testim, on the other hand, recommend applying the
medication to the arms and shoulders, but recommend against applying
Testim to the stomach. Just stick to the instructions on the box
unless you have explicit instructions otherwise from your physician.
Testosterone
Cream Safety
 One of the
most important things to remember when utilizing Testosterone
Replacement Creams is that you must be vigilant against
cross-contamination. After applying the medication to the target
area, it is important that you thoroughly scrub persistent residue
from your hands with soap and water.
It is even
more important to make sure that no one else comes in contact with
the cream, either directly from the tube, or by indirect contact with
the area in which you applied the cream. Testosterone Exposure can
induce early puberty in young boys, and can have adverse effects on
hormone balance in girls and women.
How
Long Does it Take to Feel the Results?
If you use
your Testosterone Cream effectively, you will start to experience
significant results after around one month to a month and a half of
treatment. You will likely experience certain benefits much earlier
however. Most men boast that after their first few initial
treatments, they start to experience increased energy levels and
sense positive changes in their psychology.
How Can
I Get Testosterone?
Before
being approved for Testosterone Replacement, you must contact a
medical professional (like those at the Conscious Evolution
Institute), and you must undergo some simple tests to discover your
underlying hormone levels. A simple physical and blood test is
generally all it takes to provide sufficient evidence that you need
Testosterone Treatment.
After you
initiate therapy, it is important to visit your doctor two to four
times per year in order to monitor for changes in Testosterone
Levels. Some men need more than others to feel like themselves. Other
men that are experiencing certain minor side-effects may benefit from
reducing the dosage of the therapy.
If you are
interested in Testosterone Creams, or any other form of Testosterone
HRT, the Conscious Evolution Institute provides easy, no nonsense
diagnosis, and can ship Bio-Identical Testosterone Cream directly to
your door. Our methods of diagnosis and treatment eliminate the
maximum amount of hassle, allowing you to get what you need exactly
when you need it!
Testosterone
Side-Effects
It is
important to note here that the abuse of Testosterone vastly
increases the risk of experiencing side-effects. Men that use
Testosterone to restore normal Testosterone Levels will only
experience mild side-effects at worst under most circumstances, but
abuse can cause some real problems. Symptoms of Testosterone Overdose
include edema, elevated blood pressure, migraines, and dizziness.
Men with
active Testicular, Breast, Prostate cancer or enlarged prostate (prelude to possible cancer)
should not use Testosterone Replacement Therapy, because there is some evidence that
Testosterone HRT can exacerbate certain forms of cancer. On the other
hand, there is no evidence thus far that Testosterone Treatments
increase the likelihood of cancer.
This is
one reason that checkups are important while on Testosterone. The
required medical check-ups both prove that the treatment is working,
and if your physician finds evidence of cancer, you can suspend
therapy quickly.
Testosterone
is a Biological Necessity
If you are
a man that is thirty years or older and you feel that Testosterone
Deficiency may be hampering your ability to enjoy your life, we
actively encourage you to seek the advice of a medical professional.
Low-T is very easily treated, and there is no reason to let such an
easily treatable condition such as Sex Hormone Imbalance prevent you
from being the best man that you can possibly be.
Testosterone
Encourages Manly Characteristics
Testosterone
is responsible for a lot of the innate characteristics which make a
man. Testosterone influences the size of your erection, as well as
your ability to keep and sustain that erection during sexual
activity.
Testosterone
and Muscle Mass
Testosterone
also contributes to normal, healthy male muscle mass. You see,
Testosterone is the single hormone responsible for the difference in
muscle size and tone which differentiates males from females. As your
T-Levels start to drop, your body can't sustain muscle mass like it
used to, and if you are severely deficient, small and weak muscles
can contribute to increased overall frailty.
Testosterone
and Body Fat
Your body
also needs Testosterone in order to help control your body fat
percentage. Testosterone is a potent metabolite, and as Testosterone
Levels wane and the muscles start to shrink, it makes the male body
much more susceptible to weight gain, which has a number of
significant negative effects. Obesity increases the risk of diabetes
and strains the heart, for example.
Obesity
Hinders Testosterone Production
Obesity
can also amplify Testosterone Deficiency, because fat cells are
naturally designed to convert Testosterone into Cortisol and
Estrogen. Although a certain level of both of these hormones are
necessary for normal male health, men that are obese have major
problems with hormone balance and aging men with obesity secrete
lower levels of Testosterone than any other men in the same age
group.
Should
I Use Testosterone Creams or Injections?
As we
mentioned early, Topical Testosterone and Testosterone Shots are the
two most popular forms of Testosterone Hormone Replacement Therapy
today. Both of them are viable methods to restore Testosterone
Balance, and there are many reasons why some men prefer one style of
treatment over the other.
On of the
biggest advantages of Testosterone Gels over Injections is that gels
and creams are more effective at maintaining steady and stable
T-Levels on a daily basis. On the other hand, Testosterone Shots are
a bit cheaper than the cream form of Testosterone. For men with
needle anxiety, Testosterone Creams will be the easy choice between
the two.
Other men
stand by the Testosterone Injections, however. A lot of men don't
like the mess and fuss of Testosterone Creams. Others are concerned
that their children may be accidentally exposed to the cream.
Testosterone Injections are also preferred by men that are concerned
that they may forget to apply topically the cream every single day, and want to
just inject themselves once every week or two and put the thoughts of
medication behind them.
It's all
up to your personal preference. And don't forget that there are
other, newer options available that may fit your personal needs more
effectively, such as Testosterone Implants, Sprays, and Patches!
The
Difference between Testosterone Creams and Gels
Although
these two forms of Testosterone are often referred to
interchangeably, it is important to note that there are some subtle
differences between the two forms of treatment. Testosterone Creams
absorb more slowly into the skin, taking longer to set than gels.
Testosterone Creams take around 20 minutes to fully enter the blood
stream.
Testosterone
Gels pass through the skin fully in only 5 minutes. Testosterone
Creams can also leave a residue on the skin or clothing, whereas the
gel does not. Despite this, most men tend to prefer the Testosterone
Cream to the Gel.
Effective
Use of Cream Testosterone
The actual
dose of Testosterone that you will be prescribed is based on a number
of different factors. Your height and weight will be very important,
because your physical size has a major influence on the amount of
Testosterone that you will need. Your age is important as well. Your
body's physical need for Testosterone declines as you get older.
The
problem is that your Testosterone Production declines at a rate which
far exceeds the decline in physiological need. Finally, your body's
natural Testosterone Production will be important as well. If you are
experiencing a critical deficiency, you will need more than a man
that is experiencing a modest deficiency.
Testosterone
Creams generally vary between one percent Testosterone and twenty
percent Testosterone, giving physicians a lot of leeway to get you
the exact amount your body needs in order to return to a normal and
healthy state. Although Testosterone Replacement Therapy will start
to show results earlier, it will usually take between two and three
months to restore optimal Testosterone Levels. Even though the dose
of Testosterone that you may be prescribed varies from person to
person, the max dosage prescribed is about one gram daily.
Under some
circumstances, your Testosterone HRT may be combined with a
medication which blocks Estrogen production. Because overweight
patients have an increased capacity to convert Testosterone into
Estrogen, these blockers will be able to increase the concentration
of Free Testosterone used by the body for beneficial purposes.
Also, your
doctor may recommend combining Testosterone Treatments with HCG Shots
in order to encourage the body to maintain Testosterone Production in
spite of the influx of exogenous Testosterone.
