What Are the Benefits of Testosterone Injections?

Once you begin to boost your testosterone levels with your prescription for testosterone injections, you will see improvements in many areas of your physical and emotional health. Here are some of the top benefits patients see from taking testosterone injections.

Improved Sex Life

One of the very first benefits that men who are taking testosterone replacement shots notice is an improved sex life. Testosterone is instrumental in the male sexual response. As a man ages, and testosterone levels drop, many find it more difficult to get and maintain an erection. In addition to being necessary to perform sexually, men with less than adequate amounts of testosterone seem to lose interest in sex. That is because testosterone also influences libido or sex drive. Increasing your testosterone levels via the use of testosterone injections can have the dual effect of enhancing sexual performance by both improving your ability to obtain an erection, and also increase your libido. Men who have been taking testosterone injections report a return of spontaneous erections and more thoughts about sex, or more sexually explicit dreams, within the first few weeks of beginning testosterone therapy.

Improved Cardiovascular Health

There was a time when it was thought that testosterone therapy could have a negative impact on your heart, and even increase your risk of heart attack or stroke. We now know, that not only is this not true, but that testosterone injections can actually improve your heart health. Testosterone injections strengthen the function and efficiency of all muscle, which includes cardiac muscle. Furthermore, testosterone improves circulation and stimulates the production of more red blood cells, which in turn means that more oxygenated blood is flowing through the heart, which improves heart health, and also helps to build more lean muscle.

More Lean Muscle, Less Fat

As stated above, testosterone injections will help you to build more lean muscle mass. Once you have more muscle, metabolism increases, and you burn more fat and build more muscle. As you become a leaner, stronger version of yourself, you will find it easier to exercise, which will only help you to continue to lose weight and become fitter, stronger, and healthier.

Improved Bone Health

Testosterone plays almost as important a role in building and maintaining strong bones as it does in building lean muscle. Testosterone injection therapy can make up for the bone loss, or osteoporosis most men experience as they age. Strong bones help prevent fractures, and can also help you to perform better in competitive sports or other every day physical activities.

Better Cognitive Acuity

As testosterone levels decrease with age, most men find it harder to concentrate and focus on cognitive tasks. Testosterone injection therapy has been shown to improve memory and your ability to reason and perform complex tasks, such as higher order mathematics. There is even some evidence to suggest that men who maintain high testosterone levels, are at less of risk for Alzheimer’s disease and senior dementia later in life.

Improved Mood and Emotional Stability

Testosterone is a precursor to many of the neurotransmitters, or brain chemicals, that are associated with mood and emotional states. As testosterone levels drop, so do the levels of these chemicals in the brain, which results in depression, anxiety, irritability and other mood swings. Testosterone replacement injections have been shown to return men to more stable moods and have an anti-depressant effect.
