Testosterone gel, when prescribed and used properly, can provide several benefits. The gel delivers testosterone directly into the bloodstream through the skin, helping raise low testosterone levels caused by hypogonadism or other medical conditions.
Potential benefits include:
- Increased muscle mass and strength: Testosterone helps stimulate muscle growth and development. The gel can help men build more muscle mass and strength when combined with exercise.
- Increased bone density: Testosterone plays a role in bone mineral density. The gel may help slow or prevent bone density loss associated with low testosterone.
- More energy: By raising low testosterone levels, men may experience increased energy, motivation, and endurance for physical activities.
- Improved sexual function: Many men report increased libido, better erectile function, and improved performance when using testosterone gel therapy.
- Better mood: Men with low testosterone often struggle with irritability, depression, and other mood issues. The gel may elevate mood.
Potential side effects to be aware of:
- Acne or oily skin
- Sleep apnea worsening
- Gynecomastia (breast growth)
- Prostate issues
- Testicular atrophy
- Skin reactions at the application site
