Testosterone therapy

What is testosterone therapy?

Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or androgen replacement therapy, is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone (low T) levels in men back to normal. As men age, their bodies often make less testosterone, leading to symptoms like decreased energy, lower libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood changes.

Testosterone therapy comes in several forms:

• Testosterone injections - Getting shots of testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate directly into the muscle 1-2 times per week. This quickly raises T levels.


• Testosterone gels - Rubbing a gel containing testosterone directly on the skin daily. Gels help maintain steady testosterone levels.


• Testosterone patches - Using an adhesive patch that sticks to the skin and slowly releases testosterone. Patches are applied and replaced daily.


• Testosterone pellets - Tiny testosterone pellets implanted under the skin that dissolve slowly to release hormones. Pellets can work for 4-6 months.

Before starting testosterone replacement, your physician will run bloodwork to confirm low T and rule out other underlying conditions. They will also examine your prostate health since testosterone can grow the prostate.

Potential benefits of testosterone therapy:

• Increased energy and endurance


• Improved sexual function and libido


• More muscle mass and reduced body fat


• Better mood and cognitive function


• Increased bone strength


• More motivation and self-confidence
