Testosterone therapy, also known as TRT or testosterone replacement therapy, 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 symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, and lower sex drive.
Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many essential body functions in men. It plays a role in sex drive, bone and muscle health, fat distribution, and red blood cell production. Low testosterone, or “low T,” becomes more common as men age but can happen at any age due to injury, obesity, or other health conditions.
The goal of testosterone therapy is to get testosterone levels back into the normal range so the body can function at its best. It is available in different forms such as gels, patches, injections, and pellets that slowly release testosterone into the body over time.
Testosterone replacement is not right for all men with low levels. Your doctor will check your total testosterone, free testosterone, and symptoms to see if adding more could help. If you qualify, you’ll work with your doctor to find the right dose and method for your lifestyle.
Benefits of testosterone therapy when appropriately prescribed can include:
It’s important to work closely with your doctor to have your testosterone levels checked regularly and watch for side effects. Too much testosterone can cause acne, anxiety, aggression, and other issues.
