Are you experiencing symptoms of low testosterone or hypogonadism, such as a decrease in muscle mass, bone density, and mood changes? If so, you may benefit from a treatment called Testosterone Replacement Therapy, this involves administering testosterone hormones in an effort to increase its presence within the body.

TRT has been reported to be an effective treatment for low testosterone, improving the overall quality life of an individual, and effectively reducing its symptoms, through promoting improved mood, increased muscle mass, and increased bone density. Additionally, it has been known to reduce the risk of suffering from cardiovascular problems, along with individuals with cardiovascular diseases experiencing a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes while on TRT.

Can you take too much Testosterone?
Although Testosterone Replacement Therapy is helpful in dealing with low testosterone, it is possible to take too much of the hormone, especially if usage is not monitored or controlled close enough.
Excessive testosterone can cause the natural hormones in the body to become irregular, which can cause acne, enlargement of the breasts, increased risk of blood clots, and sleep apnea. Your natural production of testosterone hormones will be effected if too much testosterone is taken through TRT, resulting in testicular shrinkage and decreased sperm production.
How is treatment taken?
As a treatment option for low testosterone, TRT offers a lot of flexibility in how it can be administered, so it suits the needs of everyone. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages, but most men choose to have injections of testosterone, as this method reduces the amount of times it has to be administered, however, it also has its own drawbacks.
