TRT stands for Testosterone Replacement Therapy, which is used to treat low testosterone (T) levels.
TRT is commonly used to:
- enhance sexual performance
- increase energy levels
- increase health and overall sense of well-being
Men naturally produce less T as they age, losing about 1 to 2 percent each year, starting in late 20s or early 30s. This gradual decrease in T often doesn’t cause any noticeable symptoms, however more significant drops in T can cause:
- low sex drive
- fewer spontaneous erections
- erectile dysfunction
- lowered sperm count or volume
- trouble sleeping
- unusual loss of muscle and bone density
- unexplained weight gain
The only way to know whether you truly have low T is by seeing a healthcare provider for a testosterone level test. This is a simple blood test, and most providers require it before prescribing TRT.
