Testosterone replacement therapy can improve the signs and symptoms of low testosterone in men.
Testosterone therapy is one of the many options for men with low T levels. Many men who undergo the treatment report experiencing increased energy, improved sex drive, and even better mood.
What happens to testosterone levels with age?
Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you age, your testosterone level gradually declines — typically about 1% a year after age 30 or 40. For older men, it’s important to determine if a low testosterone level is due to normal aging or if it is due to a disease (hypogonadism).
Hypogonadism hampers the ability to produce normal amounts of testosterone due to a problem with the testicles or with the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. Testosterone replacement therapy, in the form of injections, pellets, patches, or gels, can improve the signs and symptoms of low testosterone in these men.
What is Low T treatment?
If you have abnormally low T, boosting your testosterone levels with TRT can help restore your energy levels and sex drive. It can also help decrease body fat and increase muscle mass when used correctly and under the guidance of a medical professional. Additional common symptoms of low testosterone in men include:
- brain fog;
- low energy;
- erectile dysfunction;
- hair loss;
- reduced bone mass;
- insomnia;
- hot flashes;
- mood swings;
- difficulty losing weight, despite diet changes;
- difficulty gaining muscle.
How much does testosterone cost?
This initial consultation checks for indications that testosterone replacement is needed. A regular weekly injection is priced at about $50. This can be paid out of pocket or in some instances, paid partially or in full by the patient’s insurance company.
The good news is TRT doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, most insurance companies cover all forms of testosterone replacement therapy, which means you’ll only need to cover the co-pay. Co-pays can range anywhere from $30-$100 per month, depending on your location, treatment protocol, and insurance plan. Generic options will also help lower out-of-pocket costs.
Without insurance, injections are the least expensive type of testosterone replacement therapy and can range from $40 to $100 per month.
