What is testosterone therapy? Testosterone therapy, also known as TRT or testosterone replacement therapy, is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal. Testosterone is an important hormone that plays a role in muscle mass, bone strength, fat distribution, strength, energy, and sex drive. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally start to decline after age 30. This can lead to symptoms like low energy, decreased muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and more.
Who is a candidate for testosterone therapy? Men who have clinically low testosterone levels along with symptoms may be candidates for testosterone replacement therapy. Only a doctor can determine if TRT is appropriate after a physical exam, lab testing, and evaluation of symptoms. At
