What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Testosterone is a significant hormone responsible for maintaining energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and overall well-being in men. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, sometimes leading to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, depression, and decreased muscle strength. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment designed to reinstate hormone levels to a healthy range, helping men regain vitality and improve their quality of life.

Treatment for Low Testosterone

Low testosterone (testosterone deficiency syndrome – TDS) or hypogonadism, can result from aging, underlying health conditions, or lifestyle factors.
TRT can be carried out in various forms, including:

Injections: The most common and effective method, administered weekly or biweekly.
Gels and Creams: Applied to the skin on a daily basis for steady hormone absorption.
Patches: Worn on the skin and reapplied daily.
Pellets: Implanted under the skin, providing long-term testosterone release.
Oral Medications: Less commonly used but available for those who prefer non-injectable options.
