Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal. Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men and plays key roles like:
- Regulating sex drive
- Building muscle mass
- Contributing to fat distribution
- Maintaining bone density
- Stimulating sperm production
As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decrease about 1% per year after age 30. But some men suffer from more severe drops that lead to distressing
low T symptoms like:
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Loss of muscle mass
If blood tests confirm
clinically low testosterone levels, TRT can help alleviate symptoms.
TRT treatment involves receiving testosterone directly into your body through:
- Testosterone injections - Fast acting testosterone injected into a muscle
- Testosterone gels - Topical gels applied daily to skin
- Testosterone pills - Oral capsules taken daily
The goal is to raise your testosterone into a healthy range, not super-physiological levels. When administered properly and monitored by a physician, TRT is considered safe and effective.
Potential benefits of TRT include:
- Increased energy and libido
- Improved mood and cognitive function
- More muscle mass and less body fat
- Better erection quality
- Increased bone mineral density
If you think you may suffer from low T, have your
blood levels tested. Hormone Harmony Clinic offers complete low testosterone blood panels and consultations with a
