Low Testosterone Treatment

Low Testosterone Treatment

Low testosterone can be treated with testosterone replacement therapy in the form of gels, patches, injections, and oral tablets.

Gels: A gel that contains testosterone and is absorbed directly through the skin.  This gel is typically applied once daily or as the physician recommends.
Patches: A medicated patch that contains testosterone and is absorbed directly through the skin. This patch is typically applied once a day to the upper arms, abdomen or thighs.  
Injections: Testosterone that is directly injected into the muscles or implanted as pellets into the soft tissues.  The body slowly absorbs the testosterone over time into the blood stream.
Oral Tablets: A tablet that sticks to the upper gums.  It is typically applied twice a day and constantly releases testosterone to the body through the oral tissue.

Before administering any low testosterone treatments please consult with a physician on the side effects and if you are a good candidate for testosterone replacement therapy.
