Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment used to help boost testosterone levels in men with low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or Low T. As men age, testosterone levels often decline causing symptoms like fatigue, low sex drive, loss of muscle mass, mood problems, and erectile dysfunction.
TRT helps by replacing the missing testosterone through external administration. At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Odessa, our physicians customize treatment plans with bioidentical hormones to help men restore energy, strength, sexual function, and overall vitality.
Some key benefits of TRT include:
Restoring hormone balance with TRT offers men the ability to thrive and feel their best as they age.
Men experiencing low testosterone symptoms like lack of energy, reduced strength, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood issues may benefit from having their hormone levels tested.
Some common causes of low testosterone include:
