Are you experiencing persistent fatigue, low libido, or difficulty concentrating? Many men face these challenges due to hormone imbalances.

Delaying treatment can worsen symptoms. Early intervention optimizes outcomes and improves quality of life.
HRT restores balanced hormone levels. For men, it typically involves testosterone supplementation to combat the effects of low testosterone. It addresses symptoms, but doesn't necessarily restore original levels.
HRT provides missing hormones to restore balance, improving energy levels, sleep, and body composition. Treatment is tailored to individual needs.
Several HRT administration methods exist:
| Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Testosterone Injections | Relatively quick-acting, high bioavailability | Requires regular visits, potential injection site reactions |
| Testosterone Gels | Easy to apply, convenient | Can be messy, potential skin irritation |
