Testosterone therapy is a safe and effective treatment for many men over the age of 30 who are experiencing low levels of hormones. Testosterone is an important hormone in the male body, and it can make a big difference in overall health. Men’s natural production of Testosterone can start to decrease as early as the late 20’s and most men not becoming aware until symptoms occur and impact their life. Low testosterone can lead to a number of problems including decreased energy levels, lack of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, and anhedonia.
Testosterone therapy can be administered in a number of ways, including injections, creams, gels, and pills. Depending on the specific needs of the patient, the doctor will recommend the best method of delivery. Injections are often preferred because they work quickly and can be adjusted easily if needed. There are some associated risks with TRT and these can be discussed during your consultation. TRT isn’t for everyone. But if you like feeling and looking better, and having a better sex life, then it’s definitely for you.
