Testosterone Therapy And HGH Therapy

Testosterone therapy and HGH (human growth hormone) therapy are two innovative kinds of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatments that have for years been helping both men and women to increase and balance their vital hormone levels. This is a very safe and effective form of hormone replacement when done with a clinic such as HT Medical Center that is reputable and has a proven successful track record.

Here are some very common questions that are asked about both testosterone replacement therapy and hormone replacement therapy:

Why do people need testosterone replacement therapy and HGH?

These therapies safely replace testosterone and HGH in the body as they deplete. As people age, they lose optimal functioning in all body parts, systems and organs. This is just the natural process of growing older. Included in this is the production of hormones that control just about every part of the body and a person’s emotional and mental well being.

We need the right amount of testosterone and human growth hormone to look and feel strong, vibrant and healthy. Therapy can keep levels balanced all throughout adulthood.

What does testosterone therapy and HGH treatment do to help both men and women add to the quality of their lives?

Therapy gently replaces lost testosterone and human growth hormone in the most natural way to rid of the symptoms that occur when these hormone levels naturally deplete with age. Symptoms can range from mild to very severe and completely wipe out quality of life. Therapy can help keep this from happening.

What are the symptoms of lowered levels of enough testosterone or human growth hormone?

Here is a list of issues that can occur if hormones are too low and not balanced within the body:

Lack of energy	No stamina
No endurance	Inability to enjoy sexual relations
Erectile dysfunction	Lack of sexual libido
No sexual desire	Hot flashes
Night sweats	Low sperm count
Infertility	Weight gain
Loss of lean muscle mass	Gaining of cellulite
Skin elasticity becomes weak	Wrinkles begin to form
Hair begins to thin	Balding
Crow’s feet	Sagging and haggard looking skin
Low self image	Low self esteem
Low self worth	Depression
Anxiety	Irritability
Agitation	Mood swings
Anger	Emotional instability
Higher cholesterol levels	Higher triglyceride levels
Unhealthy heart rate	Higher chance of developing diabetes
Higher risk for stroke or heart attack	Weak bone density
Greater risk for osteoporosis	Shrinking organs
Weaker immune system	Difficulty healing from sickness or wounds
Easier time catching colds or the flu

With the help of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or human growth hormone therapy, these symptoms can be avoided or eliminated. With the right medication and the correct dosage, a person can be feeling better than they did when they were in their 20’s.

What Is Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone therapy is the gentle replacement of the hormone testosterone through intramuscular bio-identical injections as prescribed by a licensed physician. The only way to get a prescription for these kinds of shots is to get tested for a depletion of testosterone. Patients will get blood work taken and also get a physical exam and share a medical history. If a person is diagnosed with low T, then the right medication can be prescribed. The two most commonly used medications for TRT are:

Testosterone Cypionate
Testosterone Enanthate

Occasionally, Testosterone Propionate will be prescribed for patients, but this medication has a much shorter half life and must be taken much more frequently than the others.

What Is HGH Therapy

HGH therapy is the use of one of five different medications that are taken subcutaneously (just under the skin) to replace human growth hormone when it is lacking enough in the system. The medications are bio-identical to what the body makes on its own. The brands used for HGH replacement are:

Omnitrope
Humatrope
Saizen
Genotropin
Norditropin

All of these medications must be prescribed by a licensed physician. Blood testing will check insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF – 1) levels to see if the problems occurring are because of a depletion in growth hormone. A physical exam and a medical history will also be required to make sure that a person is in good enough health to be a good candidate for HRT.

What Is The Difference Between Testosterone Therapy and HGH Therapy

HGH therapy vs testosterone therapy: What is the difference? Testosterone and human growth hormones are two different hormones in the body and they both control many of the same functions of the body. If a person is low in testosterone, he or she will undergo TRT. If a person is low in growth hormone, they will undergo therapy that will replace this natural chemical.

The general idea of taking injections is the same; however, HGH is taken subcutaneously and testosterone is taken intramuscularly for men and by a cream for women. Both kinds of therapies involve using bio-identical, 100 percent pure replicas of what the body naturally produces. Both therapies need prescriptions and doctors will create treatment plans that will be individualized for each unique client.

HT Medical Center handles both kinds of treatments and will always have their clinical advisors available to share the difference between testosterone replacement therapy vs HGH to clients who have questions.

Testosterone replacement therapy and human growth hormone therapy are both safe and effective when done with a clinic that is highly reputable and that follows the laws governing these kinds of treatments.

Clinics for this kind of therapy should be well known and recommended. They should provide the following for their clients:

Clinical advisors who give a first free consultation and teach all about the difference between testosterone therapy vs HGH and their similarities as well.
Required testing in a nearby local clinic. Testing will involve blood work, a physical exam and a medical history. Advisors will set up these appointments for their clients.
Licensed doctors who diagnose, prescribe medications and medically supervise treatment.
Only top notch medications that are bio-identical and 100 percent pure and safe.
An education about healthy lifestyle living.
