How hormone replacement therapy can help you
Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as TRT, is an important type of treatment to replenish hormone levels that are diminished due to age and other conditions. Having adequate hormone levels is vital to feeling and looking healthy.
When you might need testosterone replacement therapy
When a man is suffering from low testosterone, the body goes through tremendous changes, including:
- Hair thinning, or hair loss
- Temperature regulation, including experiencing hot flashes and night sweats
- Loss of collagen and elasticity, which can make your skin look older, cause sagging, and other changes
- Metabolism fluctuations, which can cause you to gain weight
- Loss of bone density, which can lead to osteoporosis and increasing the likelihood of broken bones
- Sleep disturbances, which can make it difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep
- Memory problems, resulting in a decreased performance at work, problems with focus, and other issues
- Mood fluctuations, leading to an inability to deal with stress, emotional outbursts, and other changes
- Lower sex drive, which can lead to relationship problems and loss of self-esteem and self-confidence
