What is Testosterone Therapy?
Testosterone therapy, also known as TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men. It can be administered as gels, patches, injections, or pellets implanted under the skin.
Why do Men get Testosterone Therapy?
Testosterone levels decline naturally as men age, causing uncomfortable symptoms such as:
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Fatigue and lack of energy
- Loss of muscle mass
- Increased body fat
- Mood changes like depression
If blood tests confirm clinically low testosterone, TRT can help get levels back up to improve these symptoms.
What are the Benefits?
Benefits men may experience from boosting testosterone through therapy include:
- Increased energy and endurance
- Improved sexual function
- Better mood and cognitive function
- More muscle mass and less body fat
- Stronger bones
- Overall higher quality of life
What are the Risks?
Potential risks and side effects include:
- Increased red blood cell production (rarely causes issues)
- Acne or oily skin
- Sleep apnea worsening
- Prostate issues (controversial)
- Testicular shrinkage
- Higher risk of blood clots (unclear)
Health monitoring is essential. However, when used properly under a doctor's care, most men tolerate treatment well and experience benefits.
