As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline. This natural process can lead to a condition known as hypogonadism, where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment designed to alleviate the symptoms of low testosterone. It involves supplementing the body with testosterone through injections, gels, patches, or pellets to restore hormone levels to a healthier range.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone:
- Fatigue and decreased energy levels
- Reduced libido and sexual performance
- Decreased muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat
- Mood changes, such as depression or irritability
- Reduced cognitive function
- Decreased bone density
Benefits of TRT:
- Improved energy levels
- Boosted libido
- Increased muscle mass
- Better overall sense of well-being
- Positive effects on bone density, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in older men
Potential Risks:
- Prostate health concerns
- Blood disorders
Selecting Candidates for TRT:
- Careful screening and ongoing monitoring
- Consideration of patient's medical history and symptoms consistent with testosterone deficiency
- Confirmed laboratory test results indicating low testosterone levels
- Comprehensive evaluation to rule out other conditions that might mimic the symptoms of low testosterone
