Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or androgen replacement therapy, is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone (low T) levels caused by hypogonadism or other conditions. The goal of testosterone treatment is to help a person maintain normal physiological levels of this important androgen hormone.
Why do testosterone levels drop? As men age, their bodies produce less testosterone. Other causes of low testosterone include chronic illnesses, injuries, inflammation, obesity, certain medications, sleep apnea, and other factors that interfere with normal hormonal balance. Low T can cause unpleasant symptoms like fatigue, irritability, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, depression, and more.
Luckily, testosterone therapy can safely and effectively alleviate many of these issues. Treatment is administered under a doctor's supervision and tailored to the patient's unique physiology and needs. It is available in several forms:
