Testosterone therapy

What is testosterone therapy?

Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or androgen replacement therapy, is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone (low T) levels caused by hypogonadism or other medical conditions. The goal of testosterone treatment is to help bring testosterone levels back into normal range and alleviate associated signs and symptoms.

Some key points about testosterone therapy:

• It can be given through testosterone injections, skin patches, gels, or pellets implanted under the skin. Injection is the most common and effective method.


• It's prescribed for men unable to produce enough testosterone on their own (primary hypogonadism) or due to pituitary disorders (secondary hypogonadism).


• Benefits for men can include increased energy, libido, and muscle mass as well as improved mood and cognition. It can also strengthen bones.


• Potential side effects include acne, breast enlargement, prostate issues, testicle shrinkage and lower sperm production. Controlling dose can help minimize risks.

If you're curious whether testosterone treatment may help alleviate low T symptoms you've been experiencing, consider scheduling a consultation with our hormone therapy specialists at Hormone Health Center. Our caring medical team can help diagnose the underlying cause of your low testosterone, determine if hormone replacement is appropriate, and tailor an effective testosterone regimen to meet your health and wellness goals.

Who is a good candidate for testosterone replacement?

Men experiencing low energy, reduced muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and other symptoms associated with deficient testosterone levels may benefit from hormone therapy. Our medical team will do bloodwork to determine if your total and free testosterone levels are below normal range.

We offer both short and long-acting TRT solutions to suit your lifestyle, including testosterone injections, gels, pellets and patches.
