Testosterone therapy, also known as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a treatment primarily used in men to help raise low testosterone levels back to a normal range. Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many bodily functions and low levels can cause unpleasant symptoms.
Some common reasons men seek testosterone therapy include:
If low testosterone is causing bothersome symptoms, testosterone replacement therapy may help get levels back into shape. TRT is available in several forms such as gels/creams, injections, patches and pellets.
Butterfly Hormone Center clinic specializes in testosterone optimization for men. Our knowledgeable physicians will thoroughly assess your symptoms, risk factors and testosterone blood levels before creating a customized treatment plan.
Potential benefits of testosterone therapy:
It's important to have realistic expectations about the extent of symptom relief with TRT. Most men notice gradual improvements over several months. Testosterone therapy is not a quick fix and requires an ongoing regimen.
There are some health risks to consider as well. Testosterone therapy may worsen sleep apnea and prostate issues in some men. Working with an experienced hormone therapy provider like Butterfly Hormone Center can help minimize risks.
Our physicians carefully monitor patients on TRT with regular bloodwork and follow-ups. We also provide nutritional and lifestyle support to help patients get the most out of treatment.
