What is testosterone replacement?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves restoring testosterone levels in people with low levels of testosterone. This hormone is responsible for many bodily functions, including maintaining bone density, muscle mass, and sexual function. While everybody has testosterone, it’s particularly vital for men. 

When testosterone levels decline in men, they can experience uncomfortable symptoms, including low libido, increased abdominal fat, and mood swings. Restoring your testosterone levels is crucial to your overall health, well-being, and sexual function.

How does testosterone replacement work?

Testosterone replacement works by restoring the exact levels of the hormone that are necessary for optimal function. By replenishing your levels, testosterone replacement can replicate the natural hormone balance and address the symptoms of low testosterone.

The Strive IV and Wellness team works with you to address your specific imbalance with the appropriate delivery method. Testosterone replacement comes in patches, injections, gels, and pellets. Some methods are customizable that relieve your symptoms while minimizing side effects. 

The right type of hormone replacement therapy depends on your medical history, lifestyle, and goals.

Who should consider testosterone replacement?

Anybody with low testosterone should consider replacement therapy. It’s a safe and effective way to address hormone imbalances and improve your quality of life.

A thorough physical and blood work is essential to diagnose a hormone imbalance, but common symptoms include:

• Low libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Mood swings
• Cognitive difficulties
• Increased abdominal fat
• Decreased muscle mass

The team works with you to determine the correct form and dosage of testosterone to restore your hormones to their normal range.

What can I expect from testosterone replacement?

During the initial stages of testosterone replacement, the team regularly monitors your progress. Make sure to attend regular follow-up appointments and tell the team about any changes you experience. Many men experience symptom relief within weeks, but it can take several months to restore your testosterone levels to their normal range.

The duration of your treatment can vary depending on various factors, including your age, overall health, hormone levels, and adherence to your treatment plan.
