If the underlying cause of the low testosterone can be determined and corrected, testosterone levels often rise to normal levels. Medical treatment to lower prolactin levels from a prolactinoma often results in normalization of testosterone level.
In addition, resection of large nonfunctioning pituitary tumors that are causing low testosteorne by compressing the pituitary gland results in restoration of normal testosterone levels in approximately 50% of cases. Cure of acromegaly or cushing's disease also often results in normalization of testosterone levels. In patients for whom the cause cannot be determined or addressed, testosterone replacement therapy can be prescribed by an endocrinologist with expertise in this area.
There is some debate about what is the “normal” testosterone level, but there is an “optimal level” that maximizes the patient’s well being. So for example, a patient who is completely normal at a testosterone level of 220, does not necessarily need to have testosterone replaced; whereas the patient who has a testosterone of 280 or 300, but does find symptomatic benefit from having the testosterone replaced, we think, should continue their testosterone replacement therapy. https://vigrxofficialstore.wordpress.com/

Risks of Testosterone Therapy and Contraindications
Like any treatment, testosterone can have risks and side effects. Some of the more common side effects of testosterone therapy include the following: itching and irritation. This may occur wherever a testosterone patch or gel is applied. It tends to be less common for gel users.

For men who are taking testosterone by injection, i usually recommend a peak and trough level after 2-3 months. This allows for adjustment of the dose (based on the peak level) and frequency (based on the trough level). Once the dose and frequency have been determined, i usually monitor a mid-cycle testosterone annually to ensure no change in the dosing. For testosterone patch or gel, a single testosterone measurement while on therapy is adequate. 2. Recovery of endogenous testosterone after use of androgens can be highly variable depending upon the dose and duration of therapy and the age and underlying health status of the patient. https://vigrxofficialstore.wordpress.com/
