Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal. As men age, their bodies often make less testosterone, leading to unpleasant symptoms like low sex drive, erection issues, fatigue, and mood problems.
Testosterone is the key male sex hormone that plays a crucial role not just for sex drive and function but also for energy, strength, muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and more. When levels drop too low, men may be diagnosed by their doctor with hypogonadism (also known as low T). This is often treated with testosterone replacement to alleviate symptoms.
There are a few different forms of TRT available:
Benefits of properly-managed testosterone therapy are often life-changing for men with low T. Most patients report improved energy, sleep, motivation, strength, stamina, muscle growth, fat loss, mood, mental clarity, confidence, sex drive and performance. It can quite literally help a man feel like himself again!
However, TRT does carry a risk of side effects like prostate issues, cardiovascular problems, infertility and testicular shrinkage if not properly monitored by a hormone specialist.
That's why it's so important to have an experienced hormone clinic oversee your treatment. For example, at Vital Hormones Clinic our physicians customize therapies to your unique needs and provide ongoing bloodwork and metabolic panel testing to ensure your protocol is optimized for safety and results.
