Telehealth is a convenient and effective way for individuals to receive testosterone therapy. Testosterone therapy involves using medications or other treatments to increase testosterone levels, which can help alleviate symptoms associated with low testosterone.

Through telehealth, individuals can receive consultations with healthcare providers and prescriptions to obtain medications without visiting a healthcare facility physically. Telehealth is very beneficial for individuals who live in remote areas, have mobility or transportation limitations, or have concerns about COVID-19 exposure.

Testosterone therapy is a medical treatment involving testosterone to treat low testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is a hormonal agent produced by the testicles and is accountable for establishing male attributes, such as muscle mass, bone density, and body hair. Testosterone therapy is administered in several ways, including injections, gels, patches, and pellets.

Testosterone therapy primarily treats hypogonadism which is a condition when the testicles do not produce enough testosterone. Hypogonadism can occur due to aging, injury to the testicles, or certain medical conditions, such as Klinefelter syndrome or pituitary gland disorders.

Testosterone therapy can have several benefits, such as increasing muscle mass and bone density, improving sexual function and libido, and boosting energy levels. However, it may also have potential risks and side effects, such as acne, breast enlargement, prostate enlargement, and sleep apnea. Additionally, testosterone therapy may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, Urology Care Foundation reports no substantial evidence to support this. Therefore, speaking to a medical provider to discuss your risks vs. benefits is essential to make a collaborative decision on whether testosterone therapy is right for you.
