South Dakota testosterone therapy Blood Centers
To find South Dakota Testosterone Therapy Clinics, you should first learn about the new clinical research as well as the different testing options available to you. New studies reveal some hormone replacement treatment benefits that can enhance the quality of life of men. These include increased physical abilities, improvement in mood, and better sexual health.
Breakthrough Study: Benefits of Testosterone Treatment
A large-scale research effort led by multiple institutions and reported in the New England Journal of Medicine has delivered the strongest evidence today on how effective testosterone therapy is. The study involved 12 top institutions, such as Baylor College of Medicine. It was targeting older men, specifically those 65 and over, whose testosterone decrease was caused by aging.
Key Findings from the Clinical Trials
The trial has a total of 790 male participants who took part in seven different studies of sexual function, physical function, and vitality. At the end of the trial, they showed significant improvement:
- Sexual Function Improvement: Participants reported improvements in sexual desire and level of sexual activity, and erectile function.
- Improvement in Physical Activity: At the start of the study, there was no consistent pattern of improvement for each group; however, overall, there was an improvement in the distance walked over six minutes.
- Improvement in Mood and Vitality: There was a significant improvement in the mood of participants overall, and participants reported significantly fewer depressive symptoms.
- Normalizing Hormones: The treatment raised participants’ blood testosterone levels to the “mid-normal” level (similar to younger men).
“This study is the largest and most rigorously conducted study ever done on testing the effects of testosterone on elderly men with low levels of testosterone.” — Dr. Glenn Cunningham, MD, Baylor College of Medicine.
