Low testosterone, clinically known as hypogonadism or hypotestosteronemia, is a health condition where the body does not produce enough of the essential hormone testosterone. This onset of testosterone deficiency can happen gradually over time or more suddenly. Low testosterone affects an estimated 2-6 million men in the United States.
Common signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms of possible low testosterone, make an appointment with your doctor or with our experienced physicians at Vital Hormone Clinic clinic in Glen Ellyn to have your hormone levels properly tested and evaluated. Many men with low testosterone go undiagnosed, so getting accurate test results is key.
Testosterone therapy, also referred to as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or hypogonadism treatment, is an effective medical treatment for men diagnosed with clinically low testosterone levels. The goal of TRT is to raise testosterone up to optimal levels in order to alleviate low T symptoms and improve one’s overall health and well-being.
There are several major benefits that physicians and patients frequently report from maintaining optimal testosterone levels through properly managed testosterone therapy:
By correcting the testosterone deficiency through TRT prescribed by a trained hormone therapy specialist, many men feel like they have gotten their life back - becoming happier, healthier, and more engaged in all aspects of life.
If you suspect you may be suffering from low T based on the common symptoms outlined earlier, the first crucial step is having your testosterone level accurately tested.
The medical experts at our Vital Hormone Clinic men’s health and wellness clinic located in Glen Ellyn, IL specialize in diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances in men. We conduct thorough testing and evaluation during your initial consultation and tailor a customized treatment plan to meet your unique health needs.
To obtain an accurate baseline level for diagnosis, we test total testosterone blood serum levels. We may also test for free testosterone. Testosterone testing is ideally done first thing in the morning when levels are highest. Factors such as age, fitness level, and medical conditions are also considered when evaluating your test results and symptoms.
Vital Hormone Clinic uses top reference labs for all hormonal testing to ensure precision accuracy. If your results indicate clinically low testosterone, our medical team will explain your treatment options including TRT through injections, gels or pellets based on your lifestyle, preferences, and health profile.

Fitness
Regular exercise, and strength training in particular, assists with healthy hormonal balance including testosterone. Even moderate activity for 30-60 minutes daily provides benefits such as:
Stress Modulation
Managing stress through techniques like meditation, yoga, massage therapy, counseling, or life coaching enables the body to function optimally rather than operate in chronic fight-or-flight mode which can disrupt endocrine health.
Quality Sleep
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night supports the body’s circadian rhythms including rehabilitation and release of key regulatory hormones like testosterone that regenerate while we rest.
