Testosterone Injection Therapy
Low levels of testosterone can lead to symptoms which mimic depression,
decreased sexual desire, decreased energy, and weight loss. As men
age, the levels of many essential hormones in the blood decrease.
One of the most studied of these hormones is testosterone. Testosterone
levels in the blood are easily measured, and taken with a careful
medical history and exam, testosterone replacement may be appropriate
for men with the above symptoms. Testosterone may be replaced by
injection, or by topical gels and patches, which deliver lower doses
of testosterone through the skin.
Testosterone replacement is not appropriate for all men; only a
qualified physician can make this determination with you and monitor
your health appropriately. |
