Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many processes in the male body. Low testosterone, or low T, can cause various signs and symptoms:
- Decreased muscle mass and strength - Increased body fat and difficulty losing weight - Reduced bone density leading to osteoporosis - Erectile dysfunction - Reduced sperm production causing infertility - Hot flashes, sweats, and night sweats - Gynecomastia - enlarged breast tissue
- Depression, sadness, and mood disorders - Lack of focus and concentration - Reduced motivation and self-confidence - Increased irritability and frustration - Poor sleep quality - Reduced feeling of vitality and overall wellbeing
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help men whose bodies do not produce enough testosterone on their own. It is an effective treatment option for men diagnosed with hypogonadism, meaning their testosterone levels are below 300 ng/dL.
Ideal candidates for TRT include men who:
Testosterone therapy should not be used by men with normal testosterone levels or men hoping to enhance already healthy testosterone levels. Always consult with a hormone specialist before considering TRT.

Testosterone therapy is increasingly being explored as a treatment for some symptoms of depression in men.

More research is still needed in this area.
