About Testosterone Replacement Therapy
As time passes, you may wake up one day and reminisce on the days of your youth. The transition from feeling youthful to actually feeling old may seem swift in your mind. In reality, the biological transition happens gradually.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a regimen of specialized medications that increase hormone levels in the body.
Testosterone is a hormone produced in the body that begins to increase during puberty and begins to decline around age 30. Testosterone can affect bone density, muscle mass, mood, sex drive, and red blood cell development.
Benefits
There are a plethora of benefits you can realize with Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Many patients who undergo TRT report feeling like a different person compared to how they felt when they initially sought treatment.

Consultation
During a private, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Asandra, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns regarding low testosterone. He understands the challenges many men experience and will listen closely to make you comfortable with the entire process. Dr. Asandra will answer your questions and provide detailed information about Testosterone Replacement Therapy. He will inquire about your medical and health history and take a blood sample to test your current testosterone levels. From there, Dr. Asandra will determine your candidacy for Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
Dr. Asandra will create a customized treatment plan for you and your unique needs.
Treatment
If you are a candidate for pellet therapy, Dr. Asandra will make a tiny incision near your hip and insert between 2–10 small pellets, each the size of a grain of rice, under your skin using an instrument called a trocar. The pellets will slowly release Bio-Identical Testosterone over the course of about 3 to 4 months.
If you opt for intramuscular injections, Dr. Asandra will administer the testosterone treatment directly into the gluteal muscle. You will need to receive the injection every 10–14 days. You will have routine follow up appointments to monitor your progress and testosterone levels.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Dr. Asandra utilizes plant-based hormone replacement medication for his patients. The molecular structure of the medication is a replica of the testosterone produced in the body, making it bio-identical. Animal-derived and synthetic hormone replacement therapies cite a number of risks and side effects for patients. Whereas, bio-identical hormones pose less risk with fewer side effects. As each patient who comes into AMD International is unique, their experience with hormone replacement therapy will be just as individualized.

Results
Many men report feeling like a totally different person after they begin hormone replacement. They bask in their renewed sense of virility, making them feel better than before. Following insertion of the pellets under the skin, you may experience some tenderness at the implantation site. Any discomfort should resolve within 24 hours.
As the pellets or injection release the hormones, you may experience an increase in sex drive as soon as 3 weeks after administration. You may notice an improvement of mood between 3–6 weeks. Enhancement of muscle mass and strength may be evident at around 12 weeks.
Generally, men report feeling more energized, having more sexual interest and improved sexual performance, gaining enhanced strength, and experiencing improved well-being, overall.
