Hormone shifts do not happen overnight, especially for men. Testosterone levels decline slowly with age, and the changes are easy to dismiss as just getting older, even as energy, mood, and body composition shift.
At Perry Medical in Suwanee, Georgia, care is led by Dr. Perry, who finished at the top of his class at the Medical College of Georgia and trained in Emergency Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He also holds a PhD in biochemistry and has taught at several medical universities. For many men in Suwanee, testosterone-focused HRT offers a focused way to address these changes and feel more like themselves.
When Hormone Changes Affect Daily Life
In men, testosterone naturally converts into estrogen. A balanced amount of estrogen supports cholesterol metabolism and bone health. Too much, however, can contribute to increased belly fat. More belly fat increases the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen, creating a frustrating cycle of weight gain and declining testosterone levels.
As those levels shift, everyday life may start to feel different. Workouts feel harder, pants fit tighter, and motivation may fade even when habits have not changed much.
Common Signs You May Benefit From HRT
Some signs that hormone replacement therapy may be worth discussing include:
- Persistent fatigue or low stamina
- Increased belly fat or difficulty losing weight
- Loss of muscle tone or strength
- Low sex drive or sexual performance concerns
- Mood changes, irritability, or trouble focusing
Experiencing several of these at once can be a strong signal that hormone testing is appropriate.
Who Needs HRT?
Perry Medical currently focuses HRT services on testosterone replacement for men who have confirmed low levels and persistent symptoms such as low energy, reduced strength, or decreased libido. Anyone concerned about possible hormone-related issues can schedule a visit to discuss symptoms, complete appropriate lab work, and explore the treatment options that fit their health goals.
How Testosterone Therapy Is Delivered
Oral testosterone supplements are not effective because the liver clears them quickly. Perry Medical uses testosterone given through injections or skin applications, with a strong emphasis on injections for reaching optimal levels, not just the low “normal” range for middle age.
Treatment plans may include:
- Regular injections at home or in the clinic
- Scheduled lab panels to adjust testosterone and estrogen
- Ongoing monitoring of PSA and key organ functions
This careful approach helps support results while watching closely for potential concerns.
