Low testosterone can affect your energy, mood, muscle mass, and sexual health. Many Indian men over 30 experience symptoms without knowing the cause. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a proven medical solution—but knowing when to start, and whether it’s right for you, is key.
When to Start Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but a sharp drop can cause symptoms that affect daily life. You may want to consider TRT if you experience:
-
Constant fatigue, even with enough sleep
-
Reduced sex drive or erectile issues
-
Loss of muscle mass or increase in body fat despite regular workouts
-
Mood swings, brain fog, or mild depression
-
Weaker bones, increasing the risk of fractures
A blood test from a certified clinic like Nova Men’s Health can confirm your testosterone levels. If your total testosterone is below 300 ng/dL, and you have clear symptoms, TRT may be recommended.
When to Get Testosterone Therapy
TRT isn’t just about one test—it’s about timing and overall health. You should think about getting TRT when:
-
Multiple blood tests show consistently low testosterone
-
Healthy lifestyle changes (diet, sleep, exercise) haven’t worked
-
Age-related decline starts affecting your mood or strength
-
You have conditions like hypogonadism, pituitary dysfunction, or past testicular injury
-
You are recovering from anabolic steroid use and need hormonal balance
If you’re unsure, Nova Men’s Health offers guided consultations and blood tests across major Indian cities, both online and in-clinic.
When to Do TRT (Timing Matters)
Starting TRT too early or too late can both have consequences. Here’s what to consider before starting:
-
Early vs late intervention: Mild symptoms? Try lifestyle changes first. But don’t delay if symptoms are severe.
-
Existing health risks: If you have conditions like prostate cancer, severe heart disease, or sleep apnea, you’ll need extra evaluation.
-
It’s a long-term plan: TRT isn’t a one-time shot—it’s a monitored therapy requiring regular checkups and dosage reviews.
When Is TRT the Right Choice?
TRT makes sense when low testosterone is confirmed and it’s seriously impacting your life. Here’s when TRT is a good idea:
-
Your testosterone is medically low and symptoms are strong
-
You’re dealing with chronic fatigue, low libido, or depression
-
You’ve tried natural boosting (e.g., exercise, sleep, diet) without results
-
You’re diagnosed with hypogonadism or other related medical conditions
-
You want to prevent osteoporosis and muscle loss as you age
