Testosterone levels peak by early adulthood and drop as you age?about 1% to 2% a year beginning in the 40s. As men reach their 50s and beyond, this may lead to signs and symptoms, such as impotence or changes in sexual desire, depression or anxiety, reduced muscle mass, less energy, weight gain, anemia, and hot flashes. While falling testosterone levels are a normal part of aging, certain conditions can hasten the decline. Low t risk factors include: injury or infection chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer medications, especially hormones used to treat prostate cancer and corticosteroid drugs chronic illness stress alcoholism obesity in most cases, men need to have both low levels of testosterone in their blood and several symptoms of low testosterone to go on therapy. It is possible to have low levels and not experience symptoms. But if you do not have any key symptoms, especially fatigue and sexual dysfunction, which are the most common, it is not recommended you go on the therapy given the uncertainty about long-term safety. If you and your doctor think testosterone replacement therapy is right for you, there are a variety of delivery methods to consider skin patch.�a patch is applied once every 24 hours, in the evening, and releases small amounts of the hormone into the skin. Gels.�topical gels are spread daily onto the skin over both upper arms, shoulders, or thighs. It is important to wash your hands after applying and to cover the treated area with clothing to prevent exposing others to testosterone. Oral therapy.�capsules are swallowed or tablets are attached to your gum or inner cheek twice a day. Testosterone is then absorbed into the bloodstream. Pellets.�these are implanted under the skin, usually around the hips or buttocks, and slowly release testosterone. They are replaced every three to six months. Injections.�various formulations are injected every seven to 14 days. Testosterone levels can rise to high levels for a few days after the injection and then slowly come down, which can cause a roller-coaster effect, where mood and energy levels spike before trailing off.
