Testosterone replacement therapy is a common procedure for adults who have low levels of testosterone in their bodies. One of the more common treatment is using testosterone injections to slowly administer the hormone into the body. This helps recalibrate testosterone levels to reach a healthy balance. In this article, we explore what these injections are and the five major testosterone injection benefits for adults.

 

What is Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles for men and ovaries & adrenal glands for women. Essential for development, this hormone gives male their masculine characteristics. However, in women testosterone comes in smaller amounts.

Testosterone production increases during puberty and begins to dip after age 30. Often associated with sex drive, testosterone plays an important role in sperm production. But it can also affect bone and muscle mass, as well as how men store fat in their body. This leads to more common problems for men in their later years when testosterone production begins to slow down.

However, one solution to restore healthy levels of testosterone is by using testosterone injections.

 

What are Testosterone Injections?

After receiving a low testosterone diagnosis from a doctor, the next step is to find ways to restore the balance. An option for testosterone replacement therapy is by using testosterone injections. Often given by the doctor, the injection is typically given in the gluteus muscles (or the buttocks). However, depending on the individual and severity, doctors can also allow patients to administer the injections themselves. Normally this means the injection site would be in the thigh muscles.

 

5 Major Testosterone Injection Benefits

Reduction in Fat, Increase in Muscle

Testosterone is a primary reason for increasing muscle mass. Lean mass helps control the body weight and increases internal energy. Those with low testosterone show that injections can help not only decrease fat mass but also increase muscle size and strength.

Healthy Cardiovascular System

A healthy heart pumps blood to and from the many systems of the body. This provides muscles and organs the necessary oxygen needed for performance. Testosterone helps with red blood cell development. Evidently, low testosterone levels can severely affect a variety of internal issues, including cardiovascular risks.

Better Sexual Drive

Men with normal to higher levels of testosterone usually have greater sexual activity. Older men with a higher need for testosterone helps maintain libido and correct erectile functions. However, it is also important to understand that erectile dysfunction can stem from other problems.

Although testosterone injections can be a solution to help with sex drive, this is only beneficial to those with low testosterone. Men with a healthy balance of testosterone will not receive any testosterone injection benefits.

Improved and Replenished Mood

Some noticeable symptoms of low testosterone include depression, fatigue, and irritability. Introducing testosterone replacement therapy can help restore and improve one’s mood. However, it is also important to note here that men that experience the natural decline did not show an increase in depression. This is usually linked to other hormones, such as cortisone.

Stronger Bones

Bone density decreases as men age. This is a fact. The reason is that testosterone plays an important role in bone mineral density. Lowered testosterone can give rise to risks of weak bones and osteoporosis. However, strong bones mean better support for muscles and internal organs. This can help boost athletic performance.
