Essential Facts About Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone is responsible for the outer appearance of males, like the development of mustache and beard, body hair and increased muscle and bone mass. It also helps regulate fertility, fat distribution and red blood cells. An inadequate level of this hormone can cause low sperm count, changes in sleeping habits, difficulty concentrating and erectile dysfunction. Men also experience loss of body hair, increased weight and fatigue. Some supplements they can use are gel, injections, gel in a pump, mouth patches, and skin patches. Common benefits of men’s hormone replacement therapy are increased sperm count, drop in body fat, revered erectile dysfunction, and better mood. Other than that, they might suffer side effects, like sleep apnea, skin irritation, risk of stroke, and bigger breast tissue.
