4 Health Benefits Men Should Know About Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is commonly used as a treatment modality for older men with symptomatic hypogonadism. The symptoms of hypogonadism can include lower libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle weakness, increased body fat, low mood, and decreased vitality etc.

Testosterone replacement therapy is primarily used to treat low testosterone, which can occur with age, or as a result of a medical condition. Some research suggests that TRT may also be used to help enhance quality of life.

1- Helps Prevent Certain Health Conditions

As men age, their testosterone levels decrease. Research shows that a low testosterone level (low T) puts a person at a greater risk of developing diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. A recent meta-analysis entitled “Testosterone level and risk of type 2 diabetes in men: a systematic review and meta-analysis” concluded that ” higher testosterone levels can significantly decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes in men. Therefore, combined with previous research, these findings suggest a reverse-causality scenario in the relation between testosterone deficiency and risk of type 2 diabetes in men.”

2 – Increase Muscle Mass and Build Stronger Bones

Male osteoporosis is a condition that is usually associated with a low T level.

Testosterone replacement therapy will help Increase bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures. Recent studies have concluded that it effectively increased muscle strength in middle-aged and older males.
