Testosterone therapy refers to treatments that aim to raise low testosterone levels. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that plays key roles in sexual and reproductive development, muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production and more.
Why do some men pursue testosterone therapy? When levels of this important hormone decline, men may experience unpleasant symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, depression or infertility. Low testosterone is typically diagnosed with a simple blood test.
If clinically low testosterone is detected, doctor-supervised hormone treatments may help alleviate symptoms. Therapies like gels, patches, injections or pellets can raise T levels to improve health and vitality. Potential benefits include:
- Increased energy and endurance
- Improved sexual function
- More muscle mass and reduced body fat
- Stronger bones
- Better mood and cognitive function
- Increased motivation and self-confidence
However,
testosterone therapy does come with some risks to weigh against potential rewards. Side effects may include acne, breast enlargement, prostate issues or testicle shrinkage. It can also speed up male pattern baldness in those with a genetic predisposition.
Blood work should be monitored to keep
testosterone levels in the optimal range - high amounts can lead to aggression, liver damage or heart problems. Those with prostate cancer are not candidates.
