You can only imagine what would happen if such an important component in a man’s body starts to deplete.

While far from the complete solution, it is a vital step towards regaining men’s spirit. And, it cannot be understated how this hormone therapy has reshaped and rekindled men’s lives all over the world.

In this article, I will share my story as I underwent the procedure and how it has transformed me.

How I Stumbled Upon Testosterone Replacement Therapy San Diego

I am a university biology professor and have a special affinity to research the field of medicine. I worked as a lab assistant for pathologists as part of my university contract and also have papered some studies on my own. It is important for me to share my background as the therapy in itself is met with a lot of skepticism and for good reason. Hormone therapies are usually hit and miss and a lot of times even hits bring upon with it a lot of side effects. The complexities of the human body is something yet to be conquered by man. Although many advancements have been made, it is still a drop in the ocean akin to mankind’s struggle to explore beyond our own planet. That is why the future of medicine, and indeed the study of the human body, is even more alluring. Because, despite the small fraction that we have learned about medicine, we have advanced the quality of human life at exponential rates.

Like every story of recovery, mine started with a downfall. As has been established, testosterone is an extremely important compound, especially for men. In reality, there are quite a few men afflicted with the condition who go on with their lives without knowledge of the problem. The reason for this is because the association of the symptoms to low testosterone levels is relatively new. There was a time back then where the affliction is simply attributed to bad habits which or a bad roll in genetics. After all, low testosterone levels is a normal phase that men go to. It was almost accepted as a fact that at some arbitrary point of a man’s life the decline will begin.

Luckily, for me at least, I got the condition after significant advancements have already been made in the field. However, it still took awhile for me to find out what was really causing my problems.

Struggle With Low Testosterone and Testosterone Replacement Therapy San Diego

There are a plethora of symptoms associated with low testosterone levels. These symptoms do cross with other common diseases and that is the reason why a proper diagnosis is often delayed. For me, I had the trifecta of symptoms and when they came together, it was the worst few years of my life. My first symptom was a dramatic decrease of my sex drive. Being in a shaky marriage was not helped by that fact. We were trying to get pregnant and I felt like impotence could be the last draw on the coffin that is our divorce. In those times, I truly realized how blessed I am with the person I was with because not only was she understanding, she actually helped me figure out what was wrong with me. Being the one with the scientific background in the marriage did not matter in that regard because it was her who had the winning hypothesis of my problem.

The second symptom that bothered me was my lack of energy. I was 30 years old then and, although that is hardly the prime years of a man’s physical shape, it was still a huge kick in the chin to suddenly lose all of the physical strength that I am used to having. There was a sudden and obvious shift in my day to day activities. I used to ride a bicycle from and to work but now those wheels are gathering enough dust to bury a potato. I found the act of cycling thoroughly exhausting and in a few moments of clarity, I realized that my problem is zeroing in on me.

The last symptom was probably the kick I needed that pointed me in the right direction. I thought it was simply unusual at first but i started to manifest itself more to a point where it can no longer be ignored. I was having swelling in my breast area which was extremely embarrassing especially for a man of my age and tenure.

Fighting Back With Testosterone Replacement Therapy San Diego

My wife started to do his research and got interested about testosterone replacement therapy because the symptoms of low testosterone seemed to describe very well the condition that I am in. After my wife suggested it, I vividly recall that I was not at all amused at the suggestion. I even went as far as criticizing the science behind it. Back then, every hormone therapy from my perspective was not studied enough yet to be a reliable option.

But lo and behold, the student in me became curious and I went ahead and did the therapy. It was not always about the experience and I wanted to focus on the result. I think I am lucky that a colleague of mine was the one who administered the therapy because I could not behave. If it was any other doctor, he or she would probably give up on me after just one session.
