Until recently, many were under the impression that Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) was a taboo treatment that only bodybuilders or professional athletes could use for a competitive edge. Most thought that TRT was not appropriate for the average man. Luckily, this misconception is fading by the day. TRT is a safe and effective therapy for most men!


TRT is an excellent option for men experiencing symptoms like fatigue, reduced libido, depressed mood, and decreased muscle mass. TRT is a treatment that provides noticeable results quickly, which is why our patients love it. The most frequently reported benefits that our patients experience are:


  1. Improved Energy Levels

  2. Enhanced Mood

  3. Increased Libido, Improved Erection Quality

  4. Increased Muscle Mass, Strength, and Stamina

  5. Improved Bone Density


While TRT is indeed a fabulous option for those who are candidates, it's not completely without risk. The main risks of TRT to monitor include:


  1. Rise in Hematocrit

  2. Temporary Exacerbation/Presentation of Sleep Apnea

  3. Possible Changes in the Prostate

  4. Increased Oil Production (sometimes leading to pimple formation)

  5. Possible Increase in Estrogen


At the end of the day, TRT may not be suitable for everyone. But you'll never know if you're a candidate or not until you ask! Reach out to us at FreshRx to learn more details on how we determine candidacy for treatment, how we avoid side effects and risks, and how we manage side effects should they arise.


Our previous blog posts went into some detail on the most important safety measures to take while on TRT, and how we at FreshRx keep our patients safe and happy during treatment. We also offer frequent follow-ups and unlimited access to a healthcare provider to keep our patients comfortable and informed.


If you are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, schedule a consult with us to determine if TRT is the right option for you. We will develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your individual health needs!
