Testosterone therapy, also known as TRT or testosterone replacement therapy, is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone that plays a crucial role in male health and vitality.
As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline about 1% per year after age 30. Low testosterone, known as hypogonadism, can cause symptoms like low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy, reduced muscle mass, mood issues, and more. Testosterone therapy can help alleviate these symptoms.
How does testosterone therapy work?
The goal of testosterone therapy is to restore testosterone levels to the normal healthy range. It is delivered through testosterone injections, gels, patches and pellets implanted under the skin. These methods provide the testosterone the body needs and help regulate testosterone to optimal levels.
At Hormone Wellness Center, our licensed medical providers specialize in testosterone replacement therapy. We carefully evaluate each patient through lab tests and clinical assessments to determine if they are a candidate for therapy. If TRT seems appropriate, we work closely with the patient to develop a customized treatment plan that fits their unique needs and health goals.
Who is a good candidate for testosterone therapy?
Testosterone therapy may be a good option for men over 30 with hypogonadism symptoms who have blood tests confirming their total testosterone levels are below 300 ng/dL. Potential patients should first have conditions that can cause low testosterone ruled out by a doctor. Individuals with normal total and free testosterone levels are not candidates for therapy.
