A testosterone visit in Canton
Cherokee men see our clinicians about low energy, low drive and erection changes at our Canton office. We'll ask about sleep, mood and medicines, examine you, and order morning blood tests. Low testosterone is diagnosed with two low levels plus symptoms, so a repeat test is common.
How our urologists sort it out
Low T can lower desire, and ED often has other contributors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol or medicines. If testosterone is low, treatment options include injections, gels and pellets placed in the office. Erection trouble has its own treatments, including tablets, shockwave sessions, vacuum devices and implants.
Call us if
- You notice breast tenderness or swelling on treatment
- Leg swelling or shortness of breath develops
- Mood changes concern you or your family

Common questions
Why morning blood tests?
Testosterone is highest in the early morning and falls through the day, so an afternoon test can look falsely low. A low result is usually confirmed with a second morning test before treatment is discussed.
Will testosterone fix ED?
It can raise desire and energy when levels are truly low, but erections often need their own treatment, such as sildenafil or tadalafil. Many men use both.
Does treatment affect fertility?
Yes. Testosterone gel, injections or pellets can lower sperm production and make conception harder. If you want children, say so at the first visit, because a different approach may fit better.
Weight, sleep and alcohol all affect testosterone, so lifestyle steps are part of the conversation even when medicine is started.
We'll recheck levels on treatment and adjust the dose as needed, and we'll watch blood counts and prostate health along the way.
Partners are welcome to come along and ask questions too.
Some men feel a difference within weeks.
We'll set a follow-up schedule together.
Aging, genetics, diabetes and high blood pressure can each play a part in low T.
