5 Questions to Ask About Testosterone Replacement Therapy

If you have low testosterone, you should ask a medical professional about the possible effects. The professional will be able to tell you about these effects, and after you’ve learned about them, you might realize you’re experiencing some of them. These effects may include a lower sex drive, a loss of physical endurance, and others. In fact, low testosterone can have certain long-term and serious effects on the body. For example, low testosterone can affect the strength of your bones, and this can eventually lead to a chronic condition like osteoporosis.

You definitely should ask about how the professional treats low testosterone and how the professional could treat you. There could be some lifestyle adjustments you could make, but that might not be enough, and you might need testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). This treatment can help replace the testosterone a patient has lost due to aging or a health problem.

By replacing lost testosterone, you could get relief from the effects of low testosterone, like issues with muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell levels, or sexual function. You could also get improvements to your sex drive, sexual performance, sleep quality, and energy levels! There could be other benefits too.

With higher energy levels, you may be able to enjoy certain activities more, including sexual activity. And with many of the benefits combined, you could have a healthier sex life and a heathlier life overall. All this depends on your body and your particular case of low testosterone, so you should ask the medical professional what benefits you, specifically, could expect. Also, there are different methods for TRT, like topical testosterone and intramuscular injections, so you should ask the professional about these methods and what you could expect from them.

This also depends on you and your case of low testosterone, as well as the method of TRT you get and the regimen you go on. Still, the professional should be able to give you an idea of how long it will take for your therapy to work. Typically, patients experience some effects after about three weeks, like effects on sexual interest and quality of life. The patients also typically experience effects on erections and ejaculations after around several months. The appearance of the maximum effects can vary.

This is the final question we recommend asking, and it’s an important one. You might be able to stay on the therapy for the long term or even indefinitely, but you’ll want to make sure long term therapy would work for you. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to stay on the therapy for as long as you’ll need it.
