Frequently Asked Questions
TRT is a treatment designed to restore testosterone levels in men with low testosterone. Testosterone can be administered through injections, gels, patches, or pellets. The therapy works by increasing testosterone levels to alleviate symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and muscle loss.
Common symptoms of low testosterone include persistent fatigue, reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, difficulty building muscle, increased body fat, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties such as brain fog or difficulty focusing.
Most men begin to notice improvements in energy levels, mood, and libido within the first few weeks of starting TRT. However, muscle growth, fat loss, and full benefits typically take a few months to become noticeable. Every individual’s response to therapy can vary.
When administered under medical supervision, TRT is generally safe. However, potential side effects can include acne, fluid retention, changes in cholesterol levels, or increased red blood cell count. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider ensures that the therapy remains safe and effective.
TRT is often a long-term treatment, as testosterone levels do not typically return to normal without ongoing therapy. Many men remain on TRT indefinitely to maintain the benefits. However, your treatment plan will be regularly reviewed, and adjustments will be made as needed.
