What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Many men with low testosterone report improved energy levels, sex drive, and mood after testosterone treatment. If testosterone is low, why not replace it?

Testosterone replacement therapy is a hormone replacement therapy for men to treat hypogonadism or low testosterone levels. Men typically use testosterone therapy for symptoms such as low libido, depressed mood and decreased energy levels.

How Does Hormone Therapy Work?

Your body has androgen receptors in tissues throughout your body that help your body use hormones for different important functions. These receptors in tissues from reproductive organs to the brain all respond to increased testosterone taken orally, through injections or through the skin in patches, gels and creams.

When you start testosterone therapy, the hormone produces increased muscle mass, more body hair and increased sex drive. Some effects of TRT can be felt within weeks, while others build over the course of months.
