Testosterone enanthate is an injectable steroid that is often used in hormone replacement therapy. It is one of the most commonly recommended forms of testosterone used to treat low testosterone or hypogonadism in men.
When injected, testosterone enanthate provides the body with a slow-releasing form of the essential male hormone testosterone. This allows for more stable blood levels compared to other faster-acting forms of testosterone injections.
Some key points about testosterone enanthate:
- It is an injectable esterified variant of the natural male hormone testosterone designed to provide sustained testosterone levels over a 1-2 week period
- Used to treat clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism) which can cause symptoms like low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and loss of muscle mass
- Requires less frequent injections than faster-acting testosterones like cypionate or propionate (typically every 2-4 weeks)
- Available only by prescription - must be prescribed by a medical provider after diagnosis of low testosterone
- Side effects can include acne, oily skin/hair, breast enlargement if overused, testicular atrophy, mood changes
- Not a cure-all, but can effectively help relieve symptoms of low T when used properly under medical supervision
If you have symptoms of low
testosterone such as fatigue, low libido, and loss of strength, make an appointment with your doctor. A simple blood test can determine if you would benefit from
testosterone enanthate treatment.
