Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is simply boosting or replacing your low testosterone and bringing it to a therapeutic range. Blood work is done to determine the levels of testosterone and other essential hormones in the body. This will inform your medical provider of your appropriate treatment option. TRT is only available with a prescription, and it can be dispensed as injections, skin patch, creams/gels, oral pill, or subcutaneous pellets.
Research has shown that men who pursue hormone therapy for low testosterone enjoy symptom relief as well as additional benefits, such as reduced risk of heart attack or stroke.
Men on testosterone therapy report increased energy level, better weight management and enhanced sexual desire and performance. Studies of testosterone therapy back these testimonials, as well as suggest that adequate testosterone levels are linked to better bone density with aging and improvements in spatial reasoning among Alzheimer’s patients.
