Testosterone injections are given into the thick muscles of the arm, thighs, or glutes. Such intramuscular injections use very thin needles.

It is true that any licensed doctor can prescribe testosterone injections. But that does not mean you should get your prescription for testosterone injections from just any doctor. If you believe you are suffering from low testosterone, you should seek your testosterone injections from a doctor or facility that specializes in treating men presenting with age related hormone deficiencies. Many of the symptoms of low testosterone mirror, or overlap with the symptoms of other hormone deficiencies, such as growth hormone. Only a skilled and experienced facility can determine exactly what your symptoms mean, and prescribe the appropriate course of action.
Also, when it comes to diagnosing low-T, many less experienced providers of testosterone fail to understand the subtle difference between total testosterone and free testosterone. More experienced doctors and providers of testosterone injections will also understand the importance of, and how to measure “free testosterone.” Free testosterone is the amount of the hormone that is actively available to your body at any given point in time.
You can have a total testosterone level that is in the normal range, and still have the symptoms of low testosterone, due to an inadequate supply of free testosterone. We test for both total and free testosterone, before we decide if you require testosterone injections or not
There are many things that can effect a man’s sexual performance, particularly as he ages. While there are many factors that can contribute to erectile dysfunction, or ED — from stress, to conditions such as diabetes – testosterone injections have been shown to improve sexual performance.

Men with low-T, also tend to be tired, moody, and have low self-esteem, all of which can also effect sexual performance.

Over the years, there has been lot of misinformation reported about the safety of testosterone injections. A lot of this has to do with the abuse and misuse of testosterone and other anabolic steroids by body builders and athletes.
When testosterone injections are properly prescribed after a legitimate diagnosis of low testosterone, by a professional and ethical physician, they are actually quite safe to take. Of course like any drug, testosterone injections could have some potential side effects. Some of the possible, though rare side effects of testosterone injections that have been reported include:
It was once believed that testosterone therapy increased the risk of heart attacks and/or prostate cancer, but most researchers no longer believe this is the case.
