The Ultimate Guide to Testosterone Replacement Therapy at Men’s Total Health

Understanding Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment aimed at restoring testosterone levels in men diagnosed with low testosterone, often referred to as Low T or hypogonadism. As men age, particularly between the ages of 35 and 65, testosterone levels can decline, leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms may include fatigue, decreased libido, mood swings, and loss of muscle mass.

TRT is designed to help men regain their vitality and overall well-being by restoring testosterone levels to a normal range. At Men’s Total Health, we prioritize personalized, evidence-based TRT protocols tailored to each individual’s needs. For foundational knowledge, you can refer to the Mayo Clinic and WebMD.

Who is a Candidate for TRT?

Determining candidacy for TRT involves a thorough evaluation of symptoms, age, and medical history. Common symptoms of low testosterone include:

Fatigue and decreased energy
Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
Mood changes, including irritability or depression
Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
Decreased muscle mass and strength

To be considered for TRT, candidates typically need to meet certain criteria, including:

Age: Most candidates are men aged 35 and older.
Symptoms: Presence of symptoms associated with low testosterone.
Medical History: A comprehensive review of medical history to rule out other conditions that may mimic low testosterone symptoms.

Men experiencing these symptoms should seek a comprehensive evaluation from a healthcare professional. At Men’s Total Health, we emphasize the importance of understanding individual health backgrounds and conducting a thorough assessment to determine if TRT is appropriate.
