Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in male health and wellbeing. It is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics, maintaining muscle and bone strength, regulating mood and energy levels, and supporting overall vitality.
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline leading to a condition called hypogonadism or low testosterone. This decline begins after age 30 and drops by approximately 1% per year. Lower testosterone is associated with fatigue, decreases in strength and lean body mass, erectile dysfunction, and loss of libido. Restoring optimal testosterone levels can reverse many of these signs and symptoms.
Fortunately, low testosterone or hypogonadism is highly treatable through medical testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). When properly monitored, TRT is safe and effective at alleviating symptoms and supporting long-term health for hypogonadal men.
