What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
The Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy, commonly known as TRT, is a medical treatment that aids in increasing and replenishing the testosterone levels in the body. This therapy is mainly used to address low testosterone, also called hypogonadism, in men.
At CHI St. Luke’s Health - Performance Medicine, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal testosterone levels for overall well-being and improved quality of life. Our experts offer TRT with a personalized approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Treatment Options for TRT
When it comes to testosterone replacement therapy, we offer various treatment options tailored to meet individual needs. These options include:
- Topical Gels: These gels are applied to the skin and are absorbed transdermally, providing a convenient and easy method of administration.
- Injections: Intramuscular injections of testosterone provide a rapid and effective way to increase hormone levels.
- Pellets: Small pellets that are inserted under the skin release consistent levels of testosterone over an extended period, typically three to four months.
- Patches: Transdermal patches can be applied daily to deliver a continuous supply of testosterone.
Our team of skilled professionals at CHI St. Luke’s Health - Performance Medicine will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable method of administration based on your specific needs and preferences.
Who Can Benefit from TRT?
While TRT is commonly associated with aging men, it can be beneficial for individuals experiencing low testosterone levels due to various reasons, including:
- Age-related Testosterone Decline: As men age, their testosterone production naturally decreases, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, and mood changes.
- Hypogonadism: Hypogonadism refers to a condition where the body is unable to produce adequate levels of testosterone. This can be caused by certain medical conditions or prior treatments.
- Low Testosterone Symptoms: If you are experiencing symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, decreased bone density, or depression, TRT may be a viable treatment option.
It is important to note that testosterone replacement therapy should only be pursued under the guidance of a qualified medical professional. Our team at CHI St. Luke’s Health - Performance Medicine will assess your medical history, conduct necessary tests, and recommend the appropriate course of action to ensure your safety and optimal results.
