What Testosterone Replacement Therapy actually does
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) aims to restore testosterone levels to a normal range in men with clinically diagnosed low testosterone levels (hypogonadism). Testosterone is a crucial hormone involved in:
- Maintaining bone density and muscle mass.
- Red blood cell production.
- Fat distribution.
- Sex drive and erectile function.
- Mood and energy levels.
When testosterone levels are low, men can experience symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, and mood disturbances. TRT helps alleviate these symptoms by supplementing the body's natural testosterone.
Over 50,000 patients have trusted Hi-Doctor for their online medical consultations, achieving a 4.8-star rating on Trustpilot.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, TRT can have side effects. Common side effects include:
- Acne or oily skin.
- Fluid retention.
- Increased red blood cell count.
- Sleep apnea exacerbation.
- Reduced sperm production.
Serious side effects are less common but can include prostate issues, cardiovascular events, and liver problems. Any medical treatment should be discussed with a healthcare professional to understand potential risks and benefits.
You should stop any medication or contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, sudden weakness on one side of the body, or persistent swelling in your ankles. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is essential while on TRT to manage side effects and ensure treatment efficacy.
