Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and vitality. Over time, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to signs and symptoms of low testosterone that should not be ignored. If you experience lack of energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, emotional changes, or sexual dysfunction, low testosterone could be the cause.
Getting a simple blood test is the only way to confirm if hormone imbalance is present. Many men are unaware they may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Do not hesitate to get tested if symptoms are impacting your quality of life. Our knowledgeable staff at The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic provide consultations to determine if hormone treatments are right for you.
The experts at our East Rockaway hormone clinic use advanced testing methods to accurately diagnose testosterone deficiency. We measure total testosterone and free testosterone levels and evaluate symptoms to create customized treatment plans.

Testosterone injections are often the preferred treatment because effects last for weeks. Injections include testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, or similar esters in cottonseed oil. After lab work confirms deficiency, injections are administered weekly or every 2 weeks to achieve ideal testosterone levels.
Frequent testing establishes your optimal dose - not too high or low. Our clinicians explain how to use sterile techniques to prevent infections or complications at injection sites.
Benefits of injections: Convenient, low cost, mimics natural testosterone production. Lasts 2-4 weeks.
Testosterone gels (Androgel®, Testim®) and creams are prescribed if injections seem unappealing. Topicals are applied to skin daily and absorbed into the bloodstream. It takes several applications to notice improvements.
Benefits of gels/creams: Easy to use, adjustable doses, fewer peaks and valleys than injections. Requires daily administration.
Testosterone pellets implanted under the skin continually release hormones for 3-6 months. Local anesthesia is used for insertion and removal. Pellets produce stable testosterone levels but implantation procedures are required every few months.
Benefits of pellets: Steady hormone levels, only needed a few times per year. Pellet procedures involve a small incision.
