There are versions of hormone replacement therapy for both men and women, as the particular hormones men and women become naturally deficient in as they age are different for both. With that in mind, hormone replacement therapy for men generally involves boosting testosterone levels. In contrast, hormone replacement therapy for women generally involves increasing or balancing estrogen or progesterone levels or both. As such, hormone replacement therapy for men is often referred to as testosterone replacement therapy.

As men age, it is natural for testosterone levels to drop at a gradual rate. On average, the testosterone levels for most men drop by one percent per year after reaching the age of 30 years old. While testosterone loss is entirely natural, it can cause several dissatisfactory symptoms that not only affect one’s health but can also affect their self-confidence and overall sense of well-being.

Hormone replacement therapy, or testosterone replacement therapy, can be taken in several different ways, including intramuscular injections into the buttock muscles, transdermal (skin) patches on the abdomen, arms, back, or buttocks, pellets implanted under the skin, or through a topical gel applied to the abdomen, arms, or shoulders.

As a sex hormone, that is, a hormone that has an essential role in sexual development and reproduction, there are numerous bodily processes and functions that testosterone regulates and influences, including bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, red blood cell production, sex drive (libido), and sperm production. With that in mind, testosterone deficiencies can have wide-ranging effects on the body.

As such, if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could be a sign that you would benefit from hormone replacement therapy:

– Body and facial hair loss
– Decreased bone and muscle mass
– Depression
– Erectile dysfunction (ED)
– Fatigue and lack of energy
– Hot flashes
– Increased body fat
– Insomnia or troubles sleeping
– Irritability and mood swings or changes
– Lack of self-esteem or sense of well-being
– Little to no sex drive, also referred to as low libido
– Low sperm count
– Problems with memory and concentration
– Reduced testicle size
