ANDROGEN DEFICIENCY AND TRT

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be considered for men diagnosed with low testosterone or androgen deficiency (hypogonadism) after medical evaluation. Testosterone is vital for muscle mass, libido, and mood regulation. Speak with a doctor to learn more.

SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE

  • Erectile dysfunction.

  • Decrease in muscle mass and strength.

  • Increased body fat.

  • Reduced bone density.

  • Mood disturbances, such as depression and irritability.

BENEFITS OF TRT

TRT may be considered by doctors for men with clinically diagnosed low testosterone. Its effects, such as changes in libido, muscle mass, mood, and energy, depend on individual circumstances and medical evaluation.

TRT RISKS

  • Elevated red blood cell count, which can lead to blood clotting issues.

  • Sleep apnea exacerbation.

  • Acne and oily skin.

  • Breast enlargement.
