What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone replacement therapy involves analysis and treatment for low levels of testosterone caused by a medical condition or age. After analyzing your hormone levels through a blood sample, saliva, or urine sample, one of our expert practitioners will tailor a plan to address your health concerns.
At Rejuvenessence, methods of testosterone replacement are oral medications, injections, patches, pellets, or gels. The method that is best for you depends on your comfort and what will work best for your body.
While the amount of testosterone naturally decreases as you age, sudden drops in testosterone can be detrimental to your health. It may result in low libido, erectile dysfunction, trouble sleeping, unusual muscle and bone density loss, or unexplained weight gain.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy Benefits
Some of the key benefits of testosterone replacement therapy include:
Increased Libido
Often, low testosterone levels result in lowered libido or erectile dysfunctions. Testosterone replacement therapy is known to increase your libido and quality of erections. The amount of improvement varies from patient to patient.
More Energy
With your hormones more balanced, you may notice an increase in energy. Declines in testosterone can results in lethargy and depressive states, but testosterone replacement therapy can restore the natural levels, giving you more energy to do what you love.
Increased Muscle Mass
When your testosterone levels are low, gaining muscle mass is more challenging, and your bone density may decrease. With testosterone replacement therapy, you should see an increase in muscle mass when you work out and eat accordingly.
What Does Testosterone Replacement Therapy Feel Like?
Depending on the method of treatment, TRT should not be painful. If you choose injections, there may be a pinch with the shot, but the process itself is comfortable.
Some people may be concerned about testosterone replacement therapy being similar to steroids. While they have similar makeups, steroids are a far higher dosage and are used to increase muscle mass or athletic ability. TRT is only used to restore your testosterone levels to their natural state. You do not have to worry about “roid rage” or similar effects.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy Results and Recovery
The results of testosterone replacement therapy are not immediate. Your hormones and your body’s ability to absorb the medication or injections are unique. Your dosages or intake method may change depending on how well your body intakes testosterone through oral medications, injections, patches, or gels.
As your treatment is tailored to your body’s needs, you should feel gradual improvement in your energy levels and libido. You may exercise longer or enjoy more strenuous activities. You may experience positive changes in your social, work, and home life as your testosterone levels return to normal levels.
Ideal Candidates for Testosterone Replacement Therapy
If you struggle with low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, decreased muscle mass, irritability, and a lowered sense of well-being, you might be a good candidate for testosterone replacement therapy. After one of our experienced professionals test your levels, they will tailor a treatment plan to your body’s needs.
You might not be a good candidate for testosterone replacement therapy if you have low testosterone levels but display no symptoms. Natural testosterone levels vary from person to person, but if it affects your daily life, you may be a good candidate for TRT.
