Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

There are many reasons why men choose to do HRT however, in our experience, the common reasons are:

Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or lacking energy, even after rest.

Reduced Libido: A noticeable decrease in sexual desire.

Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.

Mood Changes: Increased irritability, depression, or anxiety.

Loss of Muscle Mass: Decrease in muscle strength and mass, or difficulty building muscle.

Increased Body Fat: Particularly in the abdominal area.

Cognitive Changes: Difficulty concentrating, memory issues, or brain fog.

Improved Energy Levels: Many men report increased energy and reduced fatigue after starting TRT.

Enhanced Libido: Restoring testosterone levels can help improve sexual desire and performance.

Better Mood and Mental Clarity: Testosterone therapy can help stabilize mood, reduce feelings of depression, and improve cognitive function.

Increased Muscle Mass: Testosterone helps with muscle growth and strength, so men on TRT may notice improvements in muscle tone and strength.

Fat Reduction: TRT may help reduce fat, especially around the abdomen, leading to a leaner physique.

Bone Health: Testosterone plays a role in maintaining bone density, and TRT may help prevent bone loss or improve bone strength.

While HRT can offer significant benefits, it’s important to consider potential risks, such as:

• Prostate Health: TRT may increase the risk of prostate enlargement or exacerbate existing prostate cancer. Regular screening is recommended.
• Cardiovascular Risks: There is some evidence suggesting that testosterone therapy may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, though this is still debated.
• Blood Clots: Some men on TRT may experience an increase in red blood cell count, which can lead to thicker blood and increase the risk of blood clots.

Given these risks, it’s crucial for men to have a comprehensive evaluation by one of our board-certified providers before starting HRT to ensure it is suitable for their health condition. Testosterone therapy can be transformative for men dealing with low testosterone, but it should always be administered under medical supervision to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential risks.
