Testosterone Therapy for Men
Testosterone Therapy for Men
Testosterone, sometimes called the “male hormone,” is really important for a man’s health. When men get older, their testosterone levels might go down, causing different health issues and signs.
The goal of testosterone therapy is to increase a man’s testosterone level. This is also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). It can be administered through various methods, including injections, gels, patches, or implantable pellets.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism, can result in a range of symptoms, including:
- Low Libido: Reduced sex drive and decreased interest in sexual activity.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Having trouble maintaining or obtaining an erection.
- Fatigue: Persistent fatigue, decreased energy levels, and reduced motivation.
- Depression and Mood Swings: Changes in mood, including irritability and depression.
- Muscle Loss: Reduction in muscle mass and strength.
- Increased Body Fat: An increase in body fat, particularly around the abdomen.
- Cognitive Decline: Reduced cognitive function, including memory problems.
- Decreased Bone Density: Lower bone density, potentially leading to osteoporosis.

- Improved Libido: Many men experience a significant increase in sex drive and sexual performance.
