Signs That You May Need a Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Are you losing sex drive day by day? If yes, you may be the candidate for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). You may have heard about testosterone, the male sex hormone, but did you know that you can have the levels of testosterone back to normal?

Testosterone is the hormone responsible for libido (sex need), sperm production, and secondary male characteristics i.e. Body hair regulation, voice deepness, fat distribution, muscle mass, etc.

Levels of testosterone start rising in adolescence, peak till 30, and then start declining at the rate of 1% per year approximately.

Levels range from 264 to 916 ng/dL in men between the ages of 19 to 39 years.

  1. What Happens If You Start Losing Levels Of Testosterone?

You may experience;

  • Loss of libido
  • Low bone density
  • Low sperm levels
  • Difficulty with erection
  • Unexplained loss of hair
  • Hot flashes
  1. Benefits Of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Regaining the testosterone level back to normal can have the following effects.

2.1 Regaining the Sex Drive:

Sexual arousal is directly related to the levels of testosterone. Older males need a higher level of testosterone for sex drive and erection. The studies have proven a direct relationship between the level of testosterone and libido.1

2.2 Muscle Gain–Lose Fat-Look Young

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) helps in gaining muscle mass and reversing the aging process. It decreases the fat making your body more muscular. A study has shown the direct stimulating effect of testosterone on muscle tissue.2

2.3 Increased Bone Density

Testosterone increases bone density making you less prone to osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis is double in testosterone deficient males when compared to normal testosterone level males.3

2.4 Happy Mood

Issues like loss of sex drive, fatigue, and irritability overlap with the signs of depressions. An inverse relationship exists between the level of testosterone and the depression score. 4

  1. The Bottom Line

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can revitalize your lost sex life and help you fight the symptoms of depressed testosterone levels e.g. regain sexual desire, stronger bones, and lower the level of depression.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy should only be administered by a qualified medical professional as it may have harmful effects if given in the wrong quantities and by an un-diagnosed person.
