Could Testosterone Replacement Therapy Be Right for You?
As men get older, they will start to notice changes in their body’s functioning. If you are feeling fatigued, having sexual problems or no sex drive, or if your muscles or joints feel weak, your testosterone levels may have decreased. In some cases, testosterone therapy can be of great help for men suffering from low testosterone, also known as “Low-T.”
Signs of Low-T
Some indications that you may be suffering from lower-than-normal testosterone levels are as follows:
- Diminished or non-existent sex drive
- Weakness or fatigue
- Hair loss or thinning
- Erectile dysfunction and difficulty with sexual performance
- Decreased concentration and focus
- Depression, irritability, and other mood problems
- Aches or weakness in your bones
- Loss of muscle mass
While some men experience some of the above symptoms as a normal part of aging, others may be suffering from low testosterone levels and can greatly benefit from testosterone replacement therapy. In order to know whether or not you are suffering from Low-T, you should discuss the changes you have noticed with your doctor and they can order a blood test.
Testosterone replacement therapy products will help to replenish your level of testosterone and balance out the levels of hormones in your body. Ensuring that your hormones are balanced is an important aspect of everyone’s health.
A Variety of Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products
If you are prescribed testosterone replacement therapy, you then have a wide variety of products from which to choose. Different types of therapeutic products are better for different patients. The following are some examples of methods of this type of therapy:
- Patches that are applied to the skin on your upper body or arm
- Tablets that melt away and release hormones into your mouth tissue
- Gels that you can apply to your shoulders and arms and the hormones will absorb into your skin
- Injections into your muscles
- Pills (though these are not appropriate for everyone due to possible liver risks)
Before you begin a testosterone replacement therapy regimen, you should always discuss all of your options with a knowledgeable doctor or pharmacist to ensure you select the right one for you.
