A simple blood test measures testosterone levels. Several tests are required, as levels can fluctuate daily and be influenced by medication and diet. Even if your levels are low and you have several symptoms, TRT is not always the first course of action. For instance, the No. As weight goes up, testosterone levels go down," she says. A five-point increase on the body mass index scale—for instance, going from 30 to 35—is equivalent to adding 10 years to your age in terms of testosterone levels.
In these instances, your doctor may treat the underlying condition or change your medication or dosage to one that would not affect testosterone levels. Men also need to understand the limits of TRT, as many envision it as a type of fountain of youth.

TRT is often given by either gel application or injection. With a gel, you spread the daily dose—often the size of a ketchup package—over both upper arms, shoulders, or thighs. Injections are typically given into the buttocks once every two weeks. Each method has its advantages. With gels, there is less variability in levels of testosterone. With injections, testosterone levels can rise to high levels for a few days after the injection and then slowly come down.
This can cause a roller-coaster effect, where mood and energy levels spike before trailing off. Most men feel improvement in symptoms within four to six weeks, although changes like increases in muscle mass may take from three to six months.
TRT may not always need to be taken for life. Testosterone is the hormone that gives men their manliness. Produced by the testicles, it is responsible for male characteristics like a deep voice, muscular build, and facial hair.
