Benefits Of Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Men who seek testosterone replacement therapy are often suffering from the negative symptoms of low testosterone. These symptoms can make everyday life miserable, with fatigue and low energy levels in particular causing even daily functions to become difficult.
Therefore, one of the main benefits of testosterone replacement therapy is preventing or even reversing these symptoms – for example, increasing energy levels or reducing fatigues
Low testosterone can also cause reduced muscle mass and weight gain, two symptoms that go hand-in-hand with lower energy levels to create a difficult situation for men who are trying to stay in shape. In many ways, it can be a vicious cycle.
TRT can reduce weight gain and when you also make an effort to work out and perform strength exercises alongside TRT, you can regain muscle mass. Increased energy and reduced fatigue will also aid you in working on your muscle mass, as you should find it potentially easier to inspire and dedicate yourself to exercise again.
One of the main concerns for men dealing with low testosterone is a lack of sex drive, or libido. This can lead to difficulty in relationships and a lack of fulfillment which can be disheartening for both parties. Lack of libido is often an embarrassing symptom for men, but TRT means that this negative impact on your sexual health and activity could come to an end. TRT is likely to reignite your libido and improve your sexual relationships, allowing you to have a much more exciting and robust life.
Due to a combination of low testosterone levels themselves and also many of the negative symptoms which low testosterone levels bring about, men dealing with low testosterone also often find themselves battling depression and low mood. Luckily, TRT often improves your mood and ends unexplained irritability – which could be related to fatigue. Testosterone can help you with emotional regulation, meaning that balancing your testosterone levels could be a step in the right direction if you want to regain control of your life.
While you may have expected these benefits, there are a few unexpected positive benefits of TRT. You may not have realized that testosterone has been linked with lower numbers of Alzheimer’s occurrences – more specifically, men with more balanced ratios of testosterone were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.
There have also been connections made between balanced, healthy testosterone levels and cognitive abilities. Better testosterone ratios generally reflected much better verbal memories and faster processing speeds, as well as improvements in spatial memory and mathematical reasoning. While no one can guarantee that you’ll become a whiz mathematician overnight, the research and evidence point towards improved cognitive abilities being parallel with improved testosterone ratios.
You could also experience improved bone density and some other benefits, as every man’s experience will be personal and individual. We understand that not everyone responds to treatment in the same way, which is why we ensure that your treatment is personalized for you and no one else. Generally, we believe that you should start seeing the results for some treatments from your first visit, but this can vary.
The exact impact of these benefits can also change from person to person. Some men greatly struggle with the negative symptoms of low testosterone, while others may have milder symptoms. Those who have fought with heavily negative symptoms for a long time – potentially a lifetime or most of a lifetime – could feel a greater emotional impact than others.
In the end, all that matters is that your treatment works for you. We’ll tailor your treatment to your testosterone levels and needs and monitor you throughout to ensure you’re healthy and seeing the results that you want.
