Life Expectancy and Quality of Life on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment primarily used to address low testosterone levels in men, a condition known as hypogonadism. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, reduced muscle mass, and decreased libido. TRT aims to alleviate these symptoms and improve quality of life. However, there is ongoing debate about the long-term effects of TRT on life expectancy. This article explores the potential impacts of TRT on life expectancy, examining the benefits and risks associated with the therapy.
