Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Hormone levels naturally change as people age, and one of the most common shifts in men is the gradual decline in testosterone, which can affect their energy levels, mood, strength, and overall quality of life. At Comprehensive Primary Care in Freehold, New Jersey, Salvatore DeGennaro, NP, offers testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as part of a personalized approach to men’s health and wellness. If you’ve been feeling unusually tired or less motivated, low testosterone may be contributing to your symptoms. To start feeling more like yourself again, call the office or book your TRT consultation online now.

What is testosterone replacement therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) aims to restore healthy testosterone levels in men with low testosterone, also called “Low T.” Testosterone is a hormone that does vital work, including maintaining your:

• Muscle mass
• Bone density
• Energy
• Sex drive
• Mood
• Overall physical performance

TRT works by boosting your body’s testosterone through carefully monitored treatment options, which may include injections, topical gels, patches, or other forms of hormone therapy. 

Before beginning treatment, Salvatore will perform a comprehensive evaluation that may include lab testing, symptom review, and a discussion about your overall health and medical history.

Because many symptoms of low testosterone can overlap with other health conditions, proper diagnosis is important to ensure safe and effective treatment.

What symptoms may indicate I might benefit from testosterone replacement therapy?

Low testosterone can affect both physical and emotional health. Symptoms often develop gradually and may become more noticeable over time.

You may benefit from TRT if you experience:

• Chronic fatigue or low energy
• Reduced sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction
• Loss of muscle mass or strength
• Increased body fat
• Mood changes, irritability, or depression
• Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
• Poor sleep quality
• Reduced motivation
• Decreased athletic performance

If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, a medical evaluation at Comprehensive Primary Care can help determine whether low testosterone is the cause.

What happens during testosterone replacement therapy?

After confirming low testosterone levels through lab testing, Salvatore will create a treatment plan designed to safely restore hormonal balance.

During treatment, you’ll attend regular follow-up appointments so he can monitor your hormone levels, track your progress, and make adjustments, if needed. You may begin noticing improvements within several weeks, although full results may take a few months, depending on your condition and treatment method.

Salvatore will also monitor for potential side effects and ensure your therapy remains safe and effective over time.

What are the benefits of receiving testosterone replacement therapy?

Potential benefits of TRT include:

• Increased energy and stamina
• Improved mood and mental clarity
• Enhanced libido and sexual performance
• Increased muscle mass and strength
• Better exercise recovery
• Improved sleep quality
• Reduced fatigue
• Greater confidence and overall well-being
