Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment that involves increasing the levels of testosterone in individuals who have low levels of this hormone. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is responsible for the development of male characteristics, such as muscle mass, bone density, and facial hair. It also plays a role in mood, energy levels, and sexual function.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone?
Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism or low T, can present with a variety of signs and symptoms. These can vary depending on age, sex, overall health, and other factors.
Common signs and symptoms of low testosterone may include:
-
Fatigue and decreased energy levels: Low testosterone can cause persistent fatigue, reduced stamina, and low energy levels, even with adequate rest and sleep.
-
Decreased muscle mass and strength: Testosterone plays a key role in muscle development and maintenance, so low testosterone levels may result in decreased muscle mass and strength.
-
Sexual dysfunction: Testosterone is important for sexual health and function in men. Symptoms of low testosterone can include reduced libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction in men, and decreased sexual satisfaction.
-
Mood changes: Low testosterone can impact mood, leading to symptoms such as irritability, mood swings, and depression.
-
Increased body fat: Testosterone helps regulate fat metabolism, so low testosterone levels may lead to increased body fat, particularly in the abdominal area.
