How does Testosterone Therapy work?
Men’s Testosterone levels are generally at the highest from adolescence to early adulthood. With increased age, the testosterone level slowly decreases, this can be associated to normal aging process or potentially due to the disease hypogonadism
Hypogonadism is when your body is not capable to generate the proper amounts of testosterone and is linked to the pituitary gland in that controls mens testicles. Testosterone replacement therapy can improve low testosterone and associated symptoms in men. A physician may prescribe testosterone as injections, pellets, patches or gels.
