Understanding Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is often misunderstood, with many people believing it to be a simple solution for aging. This misconception arises from the conflation of TRT aimed at treating true medical conditions like primary hypogonadism with its use for optimization purposes among those without such conditions. The need for TRT is established based on specific medical criteria; however, many perceive it merely as a way to enhance testosterone levels, which can lead to misuse. It's essential to distinguish between medically necessary treatment and the desire for elevated levels for performance enhancement, as the implications for health can vary significantly.
