What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone is a hormone that is produced in a male’s testicles. It is vital to help maintain a man’s fat distribution, bone density, muscle mass and strength, facial and body hair, sex drive, sperm production, and red blood cell production.
When testosterone levels are low, it can result in a number of unwanted side effects, including:
- Low libido
- Fatigue
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased muscle mass
- Depression
- Irritability
- Difficulty concentrating
Testosterone replacement therapy is an effective option to help treat low testosterone in men. This therapy is available in several forms, including:
Skin Patch: Androderm is a skin patch that is applied once a day and worn on the upper body or arm.
Gel: Testosterone is also available as a clear gel. This gel is absorbed directly through the skin when you apply it once a day.
Mouth Patch: Striant is a tablet that ticks to the upper gums. When applied twice a day, it continuously releases testosterone into the bloodstream.
Injection and Implants: Testosterone can also be injected into the muscles or implanted as pellets into soft tissues.
