What Are the Benefits of Testosterone Injections

For men between the ages of 40 and 65, testosterone injections have many benefits.

Testosterone is one of the most important male hormones or androgens. It is responsible for all of the traits we think of as male, i.e., larger muscles, deeper voice, facial hair, more body hair, etc. As a boy matures into a man, testosterone levels steadily increase. At puberty, testosterone levels increase dramatically, and this burst of the hormone is what is responsible for sexual maturity and the development of many other secondary male sex characteristics. Throughout the teen years, testosterone levels continue to increase, as will a young man’s size, strength, and stamina.

Testosterone levels peak at around the age of 20 and then start a slow but steady decline. By the time a man is 40, that steady drop can already be causing some of the symptoms of low testosterone, also known as low T. The good news is that prescription testosterone injections have many benefits for men with low T and can give you back much of the strength and vitality that time and nature can take away.

Who Can Benefit from Testosterone Injections

Just about any man between the ages of 35 and 65 can benefit from testosterone injections. However, it is usually prescribed after you have been diagnosed with low testosterone. Low T is diagnosed using a simple blood test.

You may want to have your testosterone levels checked and see if you can benefit from testosterone injections if you are experiencing any of the following:

  • Chronic fatigue and a lack of energy.
  • Increased body fat, particularly increased belly fat.
  • Erectile dysfunction and other sexual health issues like low libido.
  • Inability to build muscle even when working out.
  • Mood swings.
  • Increased feelings of anxiety and depression.
  • Memory loss and other cognitive difficulties.
  • Disturbed sleep and increased risk of sleep apnea.
  • Decreased bone density.
  • Poor skin and hair health.

The Many Benefits of Testosterone Injections for Men

There are countless benefits of testosterone injections for men who have low T. Testosterone injections are usually prescribed for a course of six months. After that, you will be reevaluated to see if you need to continue your testosterone injections for another six months. Over the course of those months, you will steadily see increased benefits of testosterone replacement injections.

One of the first benefits of injectable testosterone that our patients report is an increased sex drive and an improved ability to gain and maintain an erection. Beyond improved sexual function, the many other positive benefits of testosterone injections for men include:

  • Increase energy and stamina.
  • Increased muscle mass.
  • Better sleep.
  • Improved ability to build lean muscle and burn fat.
  • Weight loss.
  • Increased strength and an improved ability to perform physical tasks.
  • Improved moods and lessened feelings of depression and anxiety.
  • Improved memory and improved cognitive function.
  • Improved job performance.
  • Lowered risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Lowered risk of type 2 diabetes.
  • Improved bone health and a lowered risk of osteoporosis.
  • A better overall improved quality of life.

What Are the Side Effects of Testosterone in Injections?

For most men, the many positive effects of testosterone injections outweigh the potential risks of negative effects. However, like any prescription medication, testosterone injections do have some possible side effects. The most common adverse effect of testosterone injections is pain or swelling at the injection site. Most of the side effects are not serious or life-threatening, such as:

  • Increased breast size
  • Acne
  • Headache
  • Increased facial or body hair growth, male-pattern baldness

What Are Some of the Less Common Side Effects of Testosterone Therapy?

There are some uncommon and potentially more severe symptoms of testosterone injections, such as:

  • Chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder
  • Swelling in your ankles or feet, rapid weight gain
  • Sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood
  • Pain, swelling, warmth, or redness in one or both legs
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Changes in skin color
  • Increased or ongoing erection of the penis
  • Impotence, ejaculation problems, decreased amounts of semen, decrease in testicle size
  • Painful or difficult urination
  • Shortness of breath (even with mild exertion);
  • Stomach pain, constipation, increased thirst or urination, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion, and feeling tired or restless

It is important to point out that most of our patients go through their entire course of testosterone injections without any side effects or adverse reactions. If you do experience any issues or problems, alert your healthcare provider. Usually, any side effects can be mitigated by simply adjusting your brand or dose of injection.

Most of the time, when anyone experiences severe or dangerous side effects from male hormones is when they are using them illegally without a doctor’s prescription. As long as you are using testosterone with proper medical supervision and take your injections only as directed, you should have few, if any, problems with this medication.

Where Is the Best Place to Legally Buy Testosterone Injections?

<>You should only obtain your testosterone therapy from legitimate prescribers of testosterone injection, like Nexel Medical. Buying testosterone illegally, without a prescription, or from other countries like Mexico may appear to save you money; however, there are many risks to keep in mind.

Drugs sold in other countries, and in particular, Mexico, are not held to the same standards that the regulatory agencies in the United States hold both distributors and manufacturers to. That means while all drugs — even those legitimately made in the US– have side effects, you run an even greater risk of the known side effects with Mexican drugs.

Beyond that, if you buy a prescription drug in Mexico just to save money, you could end up with the wrong dosage and/or active ingredient. The risks associated with testosterone are increased manyfold when you use it illegally or buy it from another country.
