Testosterone
Testosterone is a key hormone in men, primarily produced in the testes, that regulates muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, energy levels, and overall well-being.
About Low Testosterone
Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone (low T) can cause fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and decreased focus or motivation.
Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
TRT can restore energy, improve libido, enhance mood, increase muscle mass, and boost overall vitality in men with clinically low testosterone levels, improving quality of life.
Treatment Details
TRT typically involves weekly injections to maintain stable testosterone levels. Treatment can be stopped at any time, but testosterone levels will return to baseline, and low T symptoms may reoccur.
FDA Update
In 2023, the FDA removed the black box warning on testosterone treatments for men with confirmed low testosterone due to hypogonadism or age-related decline. This decision followed a comprehensive review of clinical studies showing that, when used under medical supervision, TRT poses minimal cardiovascular risks for appropriate candidates. The updated guidance emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and monitoring to ensure safe and effective use, providing reassurance for men considering TRT.
