Testosterone Gels vs. Injections: Which Is Right for You?

---

When it comes to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), two common forms are testosterone gels and testosterone injections. Both options are used to treat low testosterone levels, but they differ in how they are administered, how quickly they work, and potential side effects. Here's a comparison to help you determine which might be best for you:

Factor	Testosterone Gels	Testosterone Injections
How They Work	Applied directly to the skin (shoulders, arms, abdomen), absorbed into the bloodstream, gradually raising testosterone.	Administered into the muscle or under the skin; provides a quick boost in testosterone levels, with effects wearing off over time.
Advantages	Easy to apply daily- Steady testosterone release- No needles or injections required	Fewer applications (every 1-2 weeks)- Rapid results- Higher testosterone levels in the bloodstream
Disadvantages	Skin irritation at application site- Risk of transfer to others through skin contact- Daily application needed	Discomfort or fear of needles- Testosterone fluctuations (peaks and dips)- Requires skill for self-administration or visits to a healthcare professional
Examples	- AndroGel (1% & 1.62%) - Testim - Fortesta (2%) - Vogelxo (1%) - Axiron	- Nebido (Testosterone Undecanoate) - Depo-Testosterone (Testosterone Cypionate) - Testosterone Enanthate - Aveed (Testosterone Undecanoate) - Delatestryl

 

Which is Best for You?

---

Choosing between testosterone gels and injections largely depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and how your body responds to treatment.

• Go for gels if you prefer a daily, easy-to-use option without the need for needles, and you don’t mind applying it every day.
• Opt for injections if you’re okay with needles, want less frequent treatment, and need a more potent or rapid increase in testosterone levels.

It’s essential to discuss both options with your healthcare provider to determine which form of testosterone replacement therapy is right for your specific needs and medical situation.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men

---

Low testosterone (male hypogonadism) occurs when the testicles produce insufficient testosterone. It can result from testicular, pituitary, or hypothalamic issues and is treatable with testosterone replacement therapy.

Low testosterone symptoms vary by age. In boys, low testosterone can delay puberty, slow height growth, reduce pubic hair development, and limit voice deepening and muscle strength. Male hypogonadism can occur at any age and is more common in older adults and those with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, chronic illnesses, or HIV/AIDS. In men, key signs include:

• Loss of libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Shrinking testicles
• Hair loss
• Infertility
• Mood changes
• Depression
• Memory issues
• Increased body fat
• Gynecomastia
• Reduced muscle mass and endurance

 

What Causes Low Testosterone?

---

Usually, aging is the most common cause of testosterone decline. It happens when you reach 30 years old and continues about 1% per year succeedingly. Aging can also lower testosterone, especially in men with excess weight or Type 2 diabetes. This is why the symptoms of low testosterone usually happens when men grows older.

Low testosterone can be caused by issues with the testicles (primary hypogonadism) or problems with the brain's hormone control centers (secondary hypogonadism). Some causes are present at birth, like Klinefelter’s syndrome or undescended testicles, while others develop later due to injury, infections, steroid use, or treatments like chemotherapy. Secondary hypogonadism can result from conditions like diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea, or brain injuries.

 

How Can Low Testosterone Be Treated?

---

Low testosterone is treated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), including skin gels, injections, patches, pellets, nasal gels, and pills. You might not be able to use testosterone therapy if you already have some conditions like prostate cancer or untreated sleep apnea, as it could make your condition worse.

 

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

---

You might be surprised to know that 40% of men aged 45 years old and older alone are afflicted with low testosterone. However, despite this high number, it’s not an excuse to just let it be. Proper diagnosis and treatment are still necessary to live a better and healthier lifestyle.

It helps with:

• Proper puberty growth (for boys)
• Fat loss
• Bone density development
• Muscle mass development
• Increase in libido
• Increase in self-esteem
• Sharper mind
