Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical intervention aimed at restoring testosterone levels to a normal range. It can be administered through various methods, including injections, gels, patches, or implantable pellets. TRT can effectively alleviate the symptoms of low testosterone and improve a person’s quality of life. However, it’s important that TRT is prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider, as it carries potential risks and side effects, and should only be used when there is a clear medical need. Individualized treatment plans and ongoing monitoring are essential to ensure the benefits of TRT outweigh any potential risks, especially as it may not be suitable for everyone, including those with certain medical conditions such as prostate cancer or cardiovascular issues.
