Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) - Before and After

• You can expect to see a wide range of remarkable “before and after” results from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
• While patients begin to benefit within one month of treatment, it takes several months for individuals to achieve all of the many benefits of TRT.
• No two TRT patients will have an identical experience. Your journey through treatment will be tailored to meet your unique goals and lifestyle to achieve the results you seek.

If you are interested in and considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), no doubt you have wondered about the before and after results.

A man’s hormone levels drop over time. In fact, many men over the age of 40 report:

• Feeling weak and depressed
• Putting on weight and excess fat gain
• Unable to build muscle despite proper exercise

If this sounds like you, there is a good chance that diminishing testosterone levels are to blame and that TRT can help.

Before-and-After Results of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

If you are diagnosed with low testosterone and begin a regimen of TRT, you are guaranteed to see significant before-and-after results. Accordingly, there are a few things to understand regarding the types of results you may experience with TRT.

First, and most importantly, TRT is most successful when it is prescribed to specifically meet your particular needs, lifestyle, and metabolism. As such, no two TRT patients will have an identical experience. Your journey through treatment will be tailored to meet your own unique goals and lifestyle. However, for anyone suffering from the negative impacts of low testosterone, treatment with T-therapy can be life-changing.

Before TRT: What Are the Symptoms of Low Testosterone (Low-T)?

Low Testosterone (Low-T) can manifest itself through a diverse combination of symptoms, including:

• Fatigue
• Depression
• Low sex drive and other sex-life disturbances
• Difficulty with erection
• Low semen volume
• Hair loss
• Increased body fat (e.g., abdominal)
• Decreased muscle mass; lack of muscle definition
• Decreased bone mass
• Mood changes
• Impaired memory and other cognition and mental health disturbances

If you are between the ages of 40-65 and experiencing the above, you may be suffering from Low-T. However, blood tests are still required to receive a definitive diagnosis.

The key concept to understand about TRT is that while you will experience results, you will not suddenly have the physique of Superman after the first injections. The reason why TRT is given as a course of treatment over months is that the before-and-after results are cumulative and require time to achieve. Be patient- you will see dramatic changes very soon!

If you are a man, over the age of 40, and are feeling weak/depressed, gaining weight, and are unable to build lean muscle despite exercising, there is a good chance that you could benefit from TRT.

After TRT: How Soon Can I See Results?

You will not see results overnight from your therapy. Your TRT prescription will be designed to allow your body to appropriately react to the increases in your testosterone (T) levels over time. The before-and-after effects of testosterone supplementation will impact four major areas of your life:

• Physical strength
• Sexual performance and sexual function
• Mental acuity
• Emotional wellbeing

Again, as TRT is prescribed on an individualized basis, results do vary. However, many patients report seeing improvements in strength and energy in as little as two weeks. Additionally, many patients notice emotional and/or mood changes earlier than any major physical changes. In as little as three to four weeks on testosterone therapy, men report feeling more calm and less anxious, depressed and irritable.

Before and After TRT: Month-by-Month Results

Here is a month-by-month breakdown of the before-and-after results of TRT.

Before and After TRT: Month 1

After roughly four to six weeks of testosterone therapy, you will experience significant increases in vitality and energy. You should also begin to see:

• Improved mood
• Improved ability to focus and concentrate
• A reduction of belly fat
• Increased muscle mass

Before and After TRT: Month 2

After two months of TRT therapy, you will notice a number of benefits. You’ll experience large improvements in your abilities to focus and concentrate and really begin to notice that before-and-after appearance in your mirror. Belly fat will be significantly reduced and your muscles will appear more toned. Additionally, after two months of TRT you should expect to see:

• Improved sleep
• Continued improvements in libido or sex drive; increased number of spontaneous erections
• Reduction in cholesterol levels
• Increased stamina
• Reduction in systemic inflammation

Before and After TRT: 3-4 Months

As you enter your third and fourth month of testosterone therapy, in addition to continued improvements in strength, vitality and sexual performance, you can expect the following

You will not see overnight results from TRT. The reason why TRT is given as a course of treatment over months is that the before-and-after results are cumulative and require time to achieve.

Additional TRT Before-and-After Results: Month 4

• Healthier hair
• Improved mood and emotional well-being
• Improved bone health and bone density

Before and After TRT: 5-6 Months

As the first course of testosterone therapy is completed in months 5 and 6, you will begin to fully experience the many benefits of TRT discussed above, including a peak physique, improved mood, increased libido, and an improved overall quality of life.

You will be shocked with how much stronger, happier and healthy you feel. Do not be surprised if you have dropped a few pant and shirt sizes!

You will not see overnight results from your testosterone therapy. The reason why TRT is given as a course of treatment over months is that the before-and-after results are cumulative and take time to achieve.

Before and After TRT: Risks and Potential Side Effects?

Like any other kind of therapy or medical treatment, TRT does have some potential side effects. Despite these side effects, the benefits TRT confers far outweigh the potential risks. In fact, previous fears of increased risk of prostate cancer, stroke & heart disease, dating back to the 1940’s, have been shown to be unfounded by meta-analysis studies, including those funded by the National Institute of Health (2018).

When you take into consideration the many positive before-and-after results you can expect to see from TRT, a fear of side effects should not dissuade you. If you have been diagnosed with hypogonadism and do not begin TRT, your T-level will only continue to decline, with your symptoms continuing to worsen.

On the other hand, if you work with your doctor to achieve the many positive, lasting benefits of TRT, you will have made a good decision!

Before and After TRT: Expected Results

After six months of TRT injections you can expect

• Increased strength
• Increased energy levels
• Improved sex drive and erectile function
• Increased mental sharpness
• More energy
• Reduced issues with sleep or sleep apnea
• Significantly decreased body fat levels
• Increased fat-burning and muscle-building
• Healthier skin and bones
• Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
• An athletic edge

If you are in need of TRT but ignore the symptoms and treatment, all you can expect is a life filled with continued weakness, fatigue and depression.

Where Should I Get My TRT?
