What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy? 

Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as TRT, is a non-surgical procedure for men experiencing a low level of testosterone caused by age and hypogonadism. This hormone replacement therapy treatment aims to bring balance to your hormone levels. It works by restoring testosterone levels in your blood and reducing the symptoms of low T. This ultimately improves your mental energy, mood, sexual health, and overall wellness. 

How Does Testosterone Replacement Therapy Work? 

Testosterone replacement therapy uses pellets to bring balance to your hormone levels. The TRT pellet is implanted beneath your skin, which offers a slow release of testosterone. This slow release provides long-lasting, gradual results. Your cardiac activity determines the rate at which the pellets are dissolved. The more active you are, the more the pellets will dissolve.

Although the effects of TRT differ from person to person, you will experience improvements in symptoms within a few hours after testosterone replacement therapy. The full results will be noticeable six months after your TRT treatment. 

Because testosterone replacement therapy is minimally invasive and non-surgical, it does not require much downtime. However, for optimal results, we recommend you restrict your physical activity for a few days. Since you will have bandages over your injection site, you should avoid long periods in water. 

How Do I Know I Need Testosterone Replacement Therapy? 

Many signs indicate you may have low levels of testosterone. Before you can have testosterone replacement therapy, you need to schedule a consultation with us to determine if you have testosterone deficiency. During this consultation, we will do blood tests to find the source of your symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment, such as testosterone replacement therapy. 

If you experience symptoms such as sexual dysfunction, breast growth, and fatigue, you may have testosterone deficiency. Schedule a consultation with us if you experience the above symptoms.

The Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy 

There are many benefits of testosterone replacement therapy. It can improve several biological functions. Here are a few reasons to schedule your initial consultation: 

Increased Libido 

One of the primary benefits of TRT is an increased libido. This is because testosterone is responsible for basic sexual functions in your body. Testosterone replacement therapy will improve your ability to achieve and maintain an erection. 

Increased Muscle Mass 

Since testosterone is necessary for protein synthesis, and protein synthesis repairs damaged muscles, testosterone hormone replacement therapy will help you build muscle. It can even be used in the case of a muscle injury due to weightlifting or other physical activity. 

Weight Loss 

Losing weight is tough enough on its own. As you age, it can be more challenging due to changes in your body and physical limitations. Testosterone assists with fat distribution, which means you can control and maintain a stable weight with testosterone replacement therapy. TRT can also lower your risk of obesity and other weight-related health issues. 

Increased Physical Energy 

We can all use an energy boost from time to time. As your testosterone levels drop, you may experience fatigue. Testosterone increases your metabolic rate and improves your ability to convert stored fat into energy. Testosterone also aids the production of red blood cells, which are necessary to provide oxygen and convert fat and carbohydrates. 

Improves Brain Function 

TRT does not only target physical symptoms of low testosterone. A hormone imbalance can also affect your ability to focus. TRT enhances brain function and memory to improve your mental clarity.
