What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves supplementing the body's natural testosterone production with external testosterone. It is primarily used to treat low testosterone (low T) in men.

TRT can be delivered in several ways:

  • Injections - Injections into the muscle are the most common TRT delivery method. Effects last 2-3 weeks per injection.
  • Gels / Topical Creams - Topical gels and creams are applied daily to the arms, shoulders or abdomen. Provide stable testosterone levels.
  • Patches - Adhesive patches release testosterone continuously when applied to the skin. Requires daily patch replacement.
  • Pellets - Pellets implanted under the skin slowly release testosterone over 3-6 months. Requires periodic pellet replacement.

TRT benefits men by relieving low T symptoms and restoring strength, energy, sexual function and overall vitality. When properly monitored and adjusted, TRT can greatly enhance men's health and quality of life.
