Need Testosterone Replacement Therapy? Know the symptoms.

As men age, their testosterone levels naturally begin to decline (by approximately 1% every year after the age of 30). Some men with certain medical conditions, genetic problems or physical injuries may also develop low testosterone levels. Low testosterone in men can lead to a number of health issues, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, reduced hair growth and depression. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help alleviate these symptoms, and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

1. Improved Mood, Better Focus and Increased Energy

Testosterone replacement therapy can help improve mental health, cognition, and overall energy levels in men who suffer from low testosterone. Testosterone plays a key role in the regulation of mood, behavior and overall well-being, and testosterone therapy can help combat the risk of depression, “brain fog”, and fatigue that often occurs as a result of testosterone deficiency.

2. Healthy Libido and Improved Erectile Function

Adequate testosterone levels are crucial to healthy sexual desire and function. Testosterone deficiency can not only have a detrimental impact on men’s sexual health, but can also have a direct knock on effect on their quality of life and mental health too. Testosterone replacement therapy is proven to rapidly improve libido and erection quality within the first six months of treatment.

3. Increased Muscle Mass

Testosterone replacement therapy can also counter the symptoms of muscle wasting and weakness that accompanies low levels of testosterone in men, helping you to regain and improve your physical strength by increasing protein synthesis and improving neuromuscular function. Paired with consistent exercise and a nutritious diet, testosterone replacement therapy can help improve strength and fitness and reduce both abdominal and visceral body fat.

4. Improved Bone Density

Testosterone is also vital to the maintenance and development of healthy bone tissue, and low levels of testosterone in men can often lead to reduced bone density and a higher risk of fractures and osteoporosis. Testosterone replacement therapy can increase both bone density and bone strength, and potentially reduce the risk of these problems.

5. Healthy Beard Growth

Another one of the signs of low testosterone in men is a reduction in hair and beard growth. Testosterone therapy can be an effective way to attain a fuller and healthier beard.
