Renew Man™ Publishes Tip Sheet for Men Interested in Prescription Testosterone Injections

Mount Horeb, WI, December 8, 2015 (Newswire.com) - New tip sheet from andropause treatment provider Renew Man™ identifies the requirements for safe prescription testosterone injections.

Despite growing interest in the use of testosterone injections to relieve andropause symptoms like fatigue, sleep problems, and hair loss, many men still have trouble finding accurate information about this prescription medical treatment. This is a serious concern given its rise in popularity.

Many of Renew Man’s™ clients have reported that their regular physicians provided confusing or conflicting information when they asked about prescription testosterone injections. In response, the male aging experts at Renew Man™ have released the following tip sheet to help men identify treatment programs that use testosterone injections correctly and safely.

Get a Prescription: For men suffering from andropause symptoms, an over-the-counter testosterone supplement simply isn’t going to work. Over-the-counter products do not contain real testosterone. Prescription injections from a reputable andropause doctor like Renew Man™ are the only way to get treatment that is effective and safe.

Men Need a Mix of Hormones: For andropause relief, men need to achieve balance in all their vital hormones, not just testosterone. This is why Renew Man™ doctors always test for and treat imbalances in estrogen, thyroid, and DHEA whenever testosterone injections are prescribed.

Estrogen Needs to Be Balanced: Estrogen and testosterone are like flip sides of the same coin—doctors cannot safely prescribe testosterone injections without simultaneously managing estrogen levels. If estrogen is uncontrolled, men can have serious side effects and will be at an elevated risk for developing prostate cancer.

Men Need Personalized Dosages: Any doctor prescribing testosterone in a standardized dosage—as many GPs do—could actually be putting their patients’ health at risk. Too much testosterone taxes the liver. Too little testosterone will provide suboptimal results. Dosages of testosterone and all other hormones must be personalized based on lab test results and symptoms, and must be adjusted as treatment progresses.

Regular Monitoring Is Required: Regular lab work is a critical component to safe and effective treatment, and should be done at least every 6 months. Also, men who have been prescribed testosterone injections should see their doctor face-to-face at least one time per year. Any doctor who does not require an annual visit and regular lab work is suspect.

Men Need Frequent Doses: Many doctors prescribe testosterone injections once a week, or even once every two weeks. However, men need to inject testosterone more frequently to ensure an even supply of hormone to the body. With twice-weekly self-administered testosterone injections prescribed by a Renew Man™ doctor, men can achieve optimal delivery of testosterone to their bloodstream.

Always Inject into the Muscle: Testosterone should always be injected into a muscle (usually in the thigh, glute, or deltoid). This allows the hormone to pool in the muscle tissue, creating a reservoir that will deliver small and steady amounts of testosterone into the bloodstream over time. This mimics what happens naturally when men are producing healthy levels of testosterone.
