The symptoms of low testosterone are usually fatigue, decreased focus, loss of muscle mass, and of course, decreased libido and even loss of firmness in erection and also sometimes even osteoporosis, irritability, and also even poor sleep. When you have low testosterone, then you have symptoms, then it is time to consider perhaps testosterone replacement therapy. In the past, testosterone replacement therapy has always been either through an injection or through a gel or a patch. Gel or patch, or sometimes very unpredictable in absorption. So the best way was through an injection, which you do once a week or once every two weeks. And also pellet implant of the testosterone. I do the injection and the pellet.
