Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates a variety of processes in men. When levels are low, men may experience symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and emotional changes. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore optimal levels.
The first step is getting tested to confirm low testosterone levels. A simple blood test can measure total and free testosterone. Levels below 300 ng/dL are generally considered low. Testing should be done first thing in the morning for accurate results.
If tests confirm low testosterone, additional exams help pinpoint the cause. Common reasons include injury, infection, medications, and age-related decline.
TRT helps men restore strength, energy, sex drive, and other aspects impacted by low testosterone. Studies show TRT can:
There are several delivery methods to restore testosterone. Testosterone shots are injected into the buttocks or thigh. Topical gels or patches allow absorption through the skin.
Pellet implants placed under the skin provide steadier testosterone release over several months. Each option has pros and cons to discuss with a hormone specialist.
