The human body usually produces testosterone hormone naturally. From puberty, the testicles of the teenage male usually produce a lot of testosterone, which stimulates production of sperms in the testicles. This is what makes the teenage male fertile. The hormone also stimulates rapid muscle growth, an increase in bone density and growth of hair in the testicles, underarms and face among other things. Peak production of the hormone usually takes place at around the age of 21 years.
Production of testosterone usually starts to decline at the age of 30 years, so men who have reached this age usually undergo a number of changes, including; declining muscle mass and bone density as well as increased body fat and balding among other things. Some men may also experience erectile dysfunction, low libido and poor sexual stamina. Fortunately, there is testosterone replacement therapy, which can help to restore t-levels to normal levels. Below are some benefits of testosterone replacement therapy:
i) Improved Libido and Sexual Stamina
When a doctor gives you an injection of testosterone or its substitutes, you can expect your libido to go back to normal. Your sexual stamina will also increase as your energy levels and mental acuity also improve. This is one of the main benefits of TRT. Please note that the therapy to restore t-levels can only be offered by a licensed medical practitioner.
ii) Increased Muscle Mass and Reduced Body Fat
One of the consequences of declining t-levels is reduced muscle mass and increased body fat coupled with reduced bone density. Fortunately, TRT can help to bring back t-levels to normal ranges. When undergoing TRT, you can expect your muscle mass to start increasing and your body fat to start reducing.
iii) Avoid Osteoporosis
As t-levels start declining the moment you hit age 30 years, you may start developing osteoporosis. The condition will get worse with time. Fortunately, TRT can help to raise t-levels to healthy levels and avert the condition by helping to increase bone density.
It is important to note that testosterone products are highly regulated to ensure they do not get abused. Therefore, you have to get a prescription before you can start using them. Athletes and bodybuilders normally abuse these products, so they can only be obtained with a valid prescription. In fact, most health facilities normally require the patient to come to the facility to get their injection to ensure these drugs do not get abused.
