Low testosterone, also known as low T or hypogonadism, is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in men's health and wellbeing. When testosterone levels are low, men may experience a variety of symptoms including:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, low testosterone could be the cause. As men age, it is common for testosterone levels to slowly decline. But if levels get too low, it can significantly impact quality of life. The good news is that low T is treatable through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Receiving prompt low testosterone treatment through TRT is critical because the longer you have deficiency symptoms, the higher the risk for developing more serious health conditions over time including:
Furthermore, insufficient testosterone is linked to higher incidence of death over long-term.
Restoring healthy testosterone levels can help reverse deficiency symptoms, minimize disease risks, improve physical function, restore virility, and enhance overall wellness. The beneficial effects also have positive impacts on mental health, including improved mood, reduced irritability, increased motivation and improved cognition.
Testosterone replacement therapy involves supplementing testosterone medication to return levels to an optimal normal range. There are several delivery methods, the most common being:
The method chosen depends on patient preference, efficacy, cost, and treating physician’s recommendation.
The goal of treatment is not to maximize testosterone levels, but rather reach an optimal level personalized for each patient based on symptoms and lab testing. This ensures maximum benefits while minimizing potential side effects.
The process of beginning TRT therapy includes:
Initial assessment – Review of symptoms, medical history, family history, and current medications
Physical exam & lab testing – Complete exam and diagnosis lab testing
Review results & therapy planning – Test results are reviewed, therapy protocol customized
Begin treatment – Treatment initiated, follow up lab testing & assessments scheduled
TRT offers a variety of evidence-backed benefits for men including:
In most patients, benefits of testosterone therapy occur gradually over 6-12 months with maximal effects in 2-5 years. That said, some patients report initial changes in energy, sexual function, and mood within the first month.
To achieve improvements in deficiency symptoms, it is imperative testosterone levels are restored and maintained long-term within optimal range. This requires proper testing, dosing, and patient compliance through lifelong treatment and monitoring.
