Testosterone is the primary male hormone, and it contributes to a host of normal physiological processes in the body, including hair growth, muscle mass, sexual desire, and erectile function. It is also essential for maintaining typical male characteristics.
In general, hormone replacement therapy produces gradual results. Treatments build on each other until you achieve a hormone level that is appropriate for your body chemistry. After the first treatment, patients can expect to see results in about two to four weeks, regardless of which treatment method is used.
The influx of testosterone will help promote the release of serotonin in men and can result in an increase in sex drive, energy, and strength. Other benefits, such as reduced depression or anxiety, improved memory, or reduced risk of diabetes and heart attack may accompany this.
