Testosterone treatment therapy is one of the most sought out procedures in 2017. In men, testosterone keeps them upbeat and sexually active. However, like any other hormone, testosterone is best in moderation. How do you know if you are a candidate for testosterone treatment therapy? You may feel anxious or tired. Men who are typically active and maintain a healthy mental state the majority of the time can see significant changes when testosterone is lacking. Low testosterone results in feeling lethargic, angry, and short-tempered. You are more likely to lash out at someone quickly and jump to conclusions when you normally would not do so. Sleep patterns are important to watch in males forty and over. Sleeping too much or suffering from insomnia are signs of low testosterone levels.

However, with the improvement in technology and science, there are many hormone replacement therapy options for men who feel they lack motivation and a healthy sexual appetite. If you are diagnosed with low testosterone, you can explore many types of testosterone replacement therapy after you learn if you are a candidate for therapy.

Testosterone Gel

A testosterone gel is applied through daily skin applications. It makes use of gels mimic to physiologically release testosterone in the body, which can easily be implemented. However, in the first 24 hours of application, the T levels will then stay in a steady state and also remain in a normal range after the application. However, when you opt in for the gel, it must be applied daily so you can get the right effect and avoid adverse skin reactions.

Testosterone Implants

Small pellets are delivered through Testosterone implants, by implanting the pellets under the skin, and a physician must do this. These Pellets last for at least three to six months. This method is advisable for men who do not want daily medication requirement as part of their testosterone treatment therapy. Lastly, adjusting the testosterone dose is difficult once implanted.

Testosterone Injections

This method delivers the testosterone treatment deep into the muscle and is absorbed into the blood stream over a period. However, absorption time will depend on the type of testosterone that is injected. Normally, these testosterone injections must be administered every one to two weeks with the use of testosterone enanthate. Flexible dosing is also allowed.
