Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), also known as androgen replacement therapy (ART), is a treatment that helps normalize testosterone levels in men. TRT can provide relief from low testosterone symptoms and restore vitality.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays a crucial role not just for sexual health but also various body functions like bone/muscle mass, fat distribution, red blood cell production, mood, energy levels etc.
However testosterone levels start declining naturally after age 30. Annual drops of 1-2% per year is common. While this gradual decline is normal, some men can experience a more serious dip causing troublesome low testosterone (low T) symptoms that affects quality of life.
Common low T symptoms experienced are:
If low T symptoms persist, getting diagnosed and opting testosterone replacement therapy can provide welcome relief.
TRT evaluation is especially recommended for men over 30 displaying low T symptoms. Presence of risk factors also indicates need for a thorough hormone assessment:
Diagnosis begins with examining symptoms and risk factors. This is followed up by evaluating blood levels of total and free testosterone.
Healthy testosterone levels vary amongst individuals but optimal normal ranges are:
Men displaying low T blood work and symptoms are ideal candidates for TRT after ruling out underlying conditions.
It is vital to remember - not all cases of low T require treatment! Treatment decisions depends on a man's overall health, risk vs benefits, lifestyle factors, presence of symptoms affecting quality of life etc.
