Mens Health/TRT

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a prescription treatment for men with low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism. TRT can help relieve symptoms of testosterone deficiency, such as low sex drive, low energy, and less muscle mass. It can also have other benefits, including improved bone density, strength, and cardioprotective effects.

TRT is available as a patch, injection, gel, or cream:

• Patch: Androderm is a patch that can be applied daily to the back, abdomen, upper arms, or thighs.

• Injection: Depo-Testosterone, Sustanon 250, and Reandron are injections that can be customized by a doctor.

• Gel or cream: TRT can be given as a gel or cream for the first two to six months.
