What Every Man Over 40 in Richmond and Katy Should Know About Low Testosterone 

If you’re a man in your 40s or 50s and starting to feel less energetic, less motivated, or simply not like yourself, you may be dealing with low testosterone. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness in Richmond, we help men from Richmond, Katy, and surrounding areas like Aliana, Cinco Ranch, and Mission Bend recognize the signs early and reclaim their energy and vitality with clinician-supervised testosterone therapy. 

Led by Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with over 15 years of clinical experience, we provide medically sound, private, and customized testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to help men feel their best. 

Understanding Testosterone and Why It Declines 

Testosterone plays a vital role in maintaining a man’s physical, mental, and emotional health. It supports muscle strength, bone density, libido, energy, and mood. As men age, testosterone naturally declines. 

According to the Cleveland Clinic, testosterone levels begin to drop by about 1 percent per year starting around age 30. While some men experience mild symptoms, others develop more serious signs that affect their daily life. The American Urological Association reports that nearly 40 percent of men over age 45 experience signs of low testosterone, and by age 60, that number is even higher. 

Common Signs of Low Testosterone in Men Over 40 

Here are some of the most common symptoms we see among men in Richmond, Katy, and nearby communities: 

• Persistent fatigue or low energy 
• Reduced sex drive or sexual performance issues 
• Mood swings, irritability, or mild depression 
• Loss of muscle mass or strength 
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen 
• Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog” 
• Poor sleep quality or insomnia 

Even one or two of these symptoms could suggest a hormone imbalance. If you’re noticing these changes, don’t assume it’s just age—get checked.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy 

When prescribed and monitored properly, TRT can offer significant improvements, including: 

• Increased energy and stamina 
• Improved libido and sexual function 
• Enhanced mental clarity and mood 
• More muscle mass and less body fat 
• Better sleep and recovery 

A 2020 review published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology found that testosterone therapy not only improved sexual function and body composition in men with testosterone deficiency but also led to statistically significant improvements in mood and depressive symptoms. 

What to Expect at Your Low T Visit 

At your initial visit, Dr. Luke will review your symptoms and medical history, perform an exam, and order lab tests as needed. Once results are in, we will walk you through your treatment options and answer all your questions. 

“Many men suffer for years without realizing that low testosterone is the cause,” says Dr. Luke Afuwape. “With the right care and supervision, TRT can help you feel more focused, energized, and confident again.”
