Testosterone therapy

What is testosterone therapy?

Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a treatment to help raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal healthy ranges. It can be used to help treat symptoms related to hypogonadism - a condition where the body does not produce enough natural testosterone on its own.

Some key things to know about TRT:

• It is prescribed to treat symptoms of low testosterone such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy levels, reduced muscle mass and bone density.


• Treatment involves receiving testosterone via gels, patches, injections or pellets implanted under the skin to get T levels in a healthy range.


• Potential benefits beyond symptom relief include increased libido, energy, endurance, bone density and muscle mass. It may also have positive impacts on heart health, diabetes risk factors and mental health according to some studies.


• It does carry potential side effects like acne, enlarged prostate, testicular shrinkage and lowered sperm production which should be discussed with your doctor.


• It is not recommended for men hoping to start a family soon due to possible fertility issues.

If you are struggling with symptoms that might indicate low testosterone levels, its worth having a chat with your doctor and getting your levels tested to see if TRT is an appropriate option for supporting your vitality and health.
