Men’s Health Conditions We Treat
Low Testosterone (Male Hypogonadism)
Low testosterone, also referred to as “low T,” is a medical condition where the testicles do not produce enough testosterone.¹ It can impact energy levels, mood, muscle mass, and libido. Our approach includes thorough lab testing to evaluate testosterone levels and create a treatment plan that helps you regain energy, confidence, and overall health. Common symptoms include:
Low energy or fatigue
Increased body fat
Decreased muscle mass or strength
Reduced sex drive
Impaired cognitive function
Sexual Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common concern for men of all ages, and it can significantly affect your quality of life. We offer solutions to help improve sexual performance and satisfaction, including prescription medications. Common symptoms of ED include:²
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
Reduced sexual desire
Anxiety about sexual performance
Hair Loss
Hair thinning or loss can impact confidence and self-image. We offer effective treatments, including FDA-approved prescription medications like Minoxidil and Finasteride,³ to slow or reverse hair loss and support healthy growth.
Weight Loss & Health Coaching
Managing your weight can be a complex process. We offer comprehensive weight loss solutions, including medications and health coaching, to help you achieve sustainable results and improve overall wellness.
Low Testosterone (Male Hypogonadism)
Diagnosing low testosterone starts with a detailed review of your symptoms, such as fatigue, reduced libido, or decreased muscle mass. A simple blood test measures your testosterone, and we may assess other hormone levels, such as LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), to identify underlying causes.
Erectile Dysfunction (Sexual Dysfunction )
To diagnose erectile dysfunction (ED), we take a holistic approach by evaluating both physical and psychological factors. This includes reviewing your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any medications you’re taking. Lab testing may be performed to check for conditions like low testosterone, diabetes, or cardiovascular issues that could contribute to ED.
Hair Loss
Hair loss is typically diagnosed through a physical examination of the scalp and a review of your medical history. In some cases, we may order blood tests to rule out underlying conditions, such as thyroid imbalances or nutrient deficiencies, that may contribute to hair thinning or loss.
Weight Management Challenges
Weight management challenges often stem from metabolic or hormonal factors. Diagnosing these issues involves thoroughly discussing your health history, eating habits, and activity levels. We may conduct lab testing to assess insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, and other metabolic markers to identify potential barriers to weight loss. We believe in getting to the root cause of your health concerns. This comprehensive approach ensures we provide tailored solutions that address the underlying factors and support your long-term health and vitality.
Treatments We Offer for Men’s Health
Our men’s health clinic offers a range of treatment options designed to address symptoms of low testosterone, sexual function, hair loss, and weight gain with:
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
For men with low testosterone, testosterone treatment with TRT is a safe and effective way to restore balance and improve symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and muscle loss. The benefits of testosterone replacement therapy and our personalized approach ensure that your treatment is tailored to your unique needs.
Prescription Medications for Sexual Dysfunction
We offer generic versions of Viagra (Sildenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil) to treat erectile dysfunction. These medications are effective, convenient, and affordable options to improve sexual performance and confidence.
Weight Loss Medications + Health Coaching
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is easier with expert support. We combine weight loss medications—including semaglutide and tirzepatide injections—with personalized health coaching to create a sustainable plan for your lifestyle and goals. This integrative approach addresses metabolic health, nutrition, and physical activity to help you feel your best.
Hair Loss Treatments
Our approach to hair loss includes prescription medications such as:
Minoxidil: A topical solution to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss.
Finasteride: An oral medication that helps prevent hair loss and may promote regrowth by reducing the hormone responsible for hair follicle shrinkage.
FAQs About Men’s Health Treatments
-
Yes, generic versions of Viagra and Cialis are FDA-approved and widely used to treat erectile dysfunction. Our providers will ensure these medications are appropriate for you and monitor your progress to maximize safety and effectiveness.
-
While results vary, Minoxidil and Finasteride can slow or stop hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth on the head and in face and body hair. Our providers will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs to optimize outcomes.
-
Health coaching provides the tools and support to make lasting lifestyle changes, including better nutrition, exercise habits, and stress management. This approach helps you achieve sustainable, long-term results when combined with weight loss medications.
In the past, some observational studies suggested that hormone replacement therapy, in general, might increase the risk of conditions such as breast cancer or cardiovascular disease. However, more recent research, which uses clinical trials and more reliable data, has shown that when BHRT is administered carefully and tailored to the individual, the risks are minimal. For women with symptoms of hormone deficiency or imbalance, BHRT has been shown to be an effective option with a low risk of serious complications, such as heart disease or cancer, particularly when compared to traditional synthetic hormone therapies.
While this newer research is reassuring, we will always discuss the potential risks and benefits and treatment options with you before committing to long-term hormone therapy, especially if there are any underlying health conditions to consider. At Verve Health, your safety is our top priority, and we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs while carefully monitoring your progress.⁶
