What is TRT?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment that is used to increase levels of testosterone in men with symptoms. TRT can lead to improvements in energy levels, sexual function, mood, and overall quality of life.
Injectable TRT
The most popular and common option available. It can be injected into a muscle or fatty tissue with a short thin needle. It is typically injected approximately twice a week. Pros: simple, easy, effective Cons: involves needles
Topical TRT
Compounded cream formulation that is typically applied daily.
Pros: Effective at increasing testosterone levels. It can alleviate symptoms associated with low testosterone and helps with low libido. No need for needles/injections. It is a convenient method of administration.
Cons: Care should be taken to prevent accidental transfer of testosterone to others/partner through skin contact. It can be messy. Showering, swimming, working out should be avoided for 2 hours after application
