Exploring Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) comes into play when the body lacks or experiences a reduction in testosterone hormone levels. This condition, known as testosterone deficiency or hypogonadism, can arise due to various factors including aging, obesity, medications, and medical history, such as cancer. As men age, the concentration of testosterone in their body naturally declines.
Hypogonadism affects an estimated 4 to 5 million men in the United States alone. Research indicates that this condition is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in adult males. This oversight might occur because the symptoms are often attributed to the aging process or other medical issues, sometimes even disregarded by both patients and medical practitioners. Astonishingly, only about 5% of men with hypogonadism undergo testosterone replacement therapy. Consequently, there’s a need to redefine what’s considered a normal testosterone level and reconsider the threshold for treatment.
The evaluation of hypogonadism involves a series of blood tests prescribed by a healthcare professional.
