Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment indicated in case of testosterone deficiency confirmed by clinical and biological evaluation.

It aims to correct an objectified hormonal deficit and to manage the associated symptoms.

Insufficient testosterone levels can cause a variety of symptoms.

The most common symptoms include:

• Persistent fatigue, low energy
• Loss of libido or erectile dysfunction
• Decreased strength or muscle mass
• Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
• Decreased motivation, loss of drive
• Mood swings, irritability or depressive tendencies
• Decreased athletic performance
• Decreased concentration or ‘brain fog’
• Slower physical recovery
• Less restful sleep

These symptoms can have a significant impact on quality of life and are often underdiagnosed.

Testosterone deficiency can result from many factors, including:

• Natural ageing (andropause)
• Chronic stress and cortisol imbalance
• Insufficient sleep or sleep apnoea
• Excess weight or insulin resistance
• Nutritional deficiencies (zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, etc.)
• Autoimmune or inflammatory diseases
• Certain medications
• Medical history (testicular surgery, infections, trauma)
• Overtraining or physiological exhaustion

A precise analysis is essential to understand the origin of the deficiency and adapt the treatment.

TRT is a supervised medical treatment, implemented only when the diagnosis is confirmed.

Support can include:

• the administration of testosterone according to medical indications
• adaptation of treatment based on biological results
• regular medical follow-up
• the consideration of associated factors (sleep, diet, lifestyle)

Monitoring

Processing requires:

• regular biological checks
• an assessment of the symptoms
• an adjustment of the treatment if necessary

The goal is to reduce symptoms related to hormonal deficiency and ensure appropriate medical care.
