Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has become an increasingly important treatment option for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, which can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect quality of life.
What is Low Testosterone?
Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism, occurs when the body doesn't produce enough of this crucial hormone. Symptoms can include fatigue, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, mood changes, and reduced libido.
According to the American Urological Association, low testosterone affects approximately 2-4 million men in the United States alone.
Benefits of TRT
When properly administered under medical supervision, TRT can help restore testosterone levels to a healthy range. Many patients report improved energy levels, better mood, increased muscle mass, and enhanced overall well-being.
However, TRT is not for everyone. A thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider is essential before beginning treatment.
