If you are dealing with hypogonadism (low sex drive), TRT can help. However, if your testosterone is low because you are older, the jury is out, and much of the evidence is anecdotal.
The American College of Physicians found that some men experience improvement in their sexual functioning. However, there is not much peer-reviewed evidence to show increased energy as a direct result.
Common side effects include infertility, shrinking of testicles, skin irritation, breast enlargement, and risk of BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia).
Long-term TRT can lead to serious medical problems, including the buildup of calcium deposits in blood vessels, heart attack in men over 65 with heart disease, chronic heart failure, stroke, and increased red blood cell count (polycythemia), complications with sleep apnea, and risk of prostate cancer.
Also, the risk of developing blood clots is high. According to the FDA, testosterone replacement medication requires patients be warned of the risk of blood clots.
There is no evidence that TRT prevents fractures. Of course, you need to call your physician if you experience any of the above side effects. If your symptoms appear life-threatening, call 911 immediately.
Treatment comes in several varieties: injection, gel application onto the shoulders or abdomen, or a prescribed buccal patch between the cheek and gums. However, at iThriveMD, we believe injections are the most effective TRT therapy.
If you suspect that you or a loved one is suffering from Low T, there is good news ahead: diagnosis is simple and relatively non-invasive.
A visit to a specialist is not needed since a primary care physician can diagnose Low T with a routine blood test. However, if an initial test shows low testosterone levels, your doctor may order a repeat test, as testosterone levels can vary daily.
Once you and your doctor have established and diagnosed that you have Low T, it is time to see a specialist.
We offer competitive pricing options and convenient cash-pay. No need to worry about insurance hassles or waiting for coverage.
