Men's Hormone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Do you feel like you have a decrease in your energy level? Sex drive? Concentration? Are you noticing a loss in muscle mass?

These are all symptoms that you may start to notice if you have a decrease in your testosterone levels. A decrease in testosterone can occur because of our age, our lifestyle or the environment. You could have a decrease in testosterone because of damage or a possible malfunction of the testicles, pituitary gland or the hypothalamus which is known as hypogonadism.

Testosterone helps to regulate your sexual drive, muscle mass, strength, and bone mass. The goal of replacing testosterone is to restore the levels to alleviate the symptoms being experienced.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) requires regular follow-up visits and labs to make needed adjustments to dose and to manage symptoms. Some minor side effects that could be experienced include fluid retention, acne, or injection site irritation. Some more severe side effects include Gynecomastia (breast enlargement), decreased sperm count, and increase in red blood cell count that can lead to blood clots.

Benefits of TRT are lean body mass, improvement of sexual function, increase in bone density and energy levels, and an overall better mood and well-being.

TRT may take up to 3 months before full results are noticed but some effects may be noticed after 6 weeks.
