Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in male health. It influences sexual function, muscle mass, bone health, red-blood-cell production, body composition and aspects of mood and energy.

Interest in testosterone treatment is also increasing again.

If a blood test shows that your levels are far below the norm, your doctor may suggest testosterone injections. These are a form treatment called testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Testosterone injections are most often given by your doctor. The injection site is typically in the gluteal muscles in the buttocks.  What is TRT? TRT is an acronym for testosterone replacement therapy, sometimes called androgen replacement therapy. It’s primarily used to treat low testosterone (T) levels, which can occur with age or as a result of a medical condition.
