What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment used to help boost testosterone levels in men with low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or Low T. As men age, testosterone levels often decline causing symptoms like fatigue, low sex drive, loss of muscle mass, mood problems, and erectile dysfunction.

TRT helps by replacing the missing testosterone through external administration. At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Great Bend, our physicians customize treatment plans with bioidentical hormones to help men restore energy, strength, sexual function, and overall vitality.

Benefits of TRT

Some key benefits of TRT include:

• Increased energy and motivation


• Improved strength and endurance


• Enhanced libido and sexual performance


• Better mood and reduced irritability


• More muscle mass and reduced body fat


• Improved bone density


• Better sleep quality

Restoring hormone balance with TRT offers men the ability to thrive and feel their best as they age.

Candidates for Testosterone Therapy

Men experiencing low testosterone symptoms like lack of energy, reduced strength, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood issues may benefit from having their hormone levels tested.

Some common causes of low testosterone include:

• Natural decline with aging - Testosterone peaks in early adulthood then slowly declines.


• Endocrine disorders - Diseases affecting glands like the pituitary can disrupt normal hormone production.


• Obesity - Being significantly overweight is linked with lower testosterone.


• Chronic illness - Certain diseases are associated with hormone deficiency.


• Injuries - Trauma to the testicles can impact testosterone synthesis.

TRT should be considered for men under age 65 with low blood testosterone and symptoms impacting quality of life after ruling out other medical conditions.

Diagnosing Low Testosterone

Determining if TRT is appropriate requires diagnostic blood testing and risk assessment by an experienced hormone specialist.

Initial blood panels check total and free testosterone along with other hormones. If below normal, repeat tests may be done along with evaluation of symptoms and medical history to confirm clinically low levels before starting treatment. Ongoing monitoring helps optimize and adjust therapy.

TRT Treatment Protocols

If low testosterone is diagnosed, TRT can be delivered through several methods:

• Testosterone injections - Injections every 7-14 days are commonly used to restore normal levels.


• Testosterone gels - Transdermal daily gels provide steady hormone release through the skin.


• Testosterone pellets - Pellets implanted under the skin supply hormones for several months.

The Hormone Harmony Clinic will help find the most convenient, effective protocol customized around each patient’s health profile and needs.
