Testosterone therapy
Testing first. Treatment only when it is clinically warranted.
- What it addresses
- Low energy, lower desire, slower recovery, changes in mood or body composition. These have several possible causes, and low testosterone is one of them.
- How it starts
- Morning blood tests, repeated where needed, and a conversation about your history. Treatment is considered only when the results and your symptoms point to a deficiency.
- Good to know
- Treatment is usually long term and carries risks, including effects on fertility, blood counts and blood pressure. It is not for everyone, and not for athletic performance or appearance.
