How Do I Know If I Need Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Do you no longer feel like yourself? Maybe you’re struggling with excess body weight or depression. Maybe you feel like you’re exhausted all of the time. If this is you, you could be suffering from low testosterone. And if so, testosterone replacement therapy is a safe and effective treatment option.
The Symptoms of Low Testosterone
As you age, it’s normal for your testosterone levels to decrease. Yet, decreased testosterone can also be due to medical conditions, illnesses and injuries. Some of the common symptoms of low testosterone you may be experiencing include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Low sex drive
- Fatigue
- Irritability or moodiness
- Decreased muscle mass
- Increased body fat
How Do I Find Out If I Have Low Testosterone?
If you have any of these symptoms, it’s best to see your doctor before doing anything else. Although these symptoms are often due to low testosterone, there may be other medical conditions at play.
To determine if you have low testosterone, your doctor will request a blood sample. That sample will then be tested to show your current testosterone levels. If it’s low, you can then choose to move forward with testosterone replacement therapy to reduce your symptoms.
How Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy Performed?
There are many ways testosterone replacement therapy can be performed. For example, there are pellets, patches, gels, injections and tablets. It all depends on your unique needs and how much therapy you need to get back to feeling like your best again.
