Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be an effective treatment for men with confirmed testosterone deficiency. Like all medical treatments, however, it carries potential risks and requires appropriate monitoring.

Fatigue is one of the most common reasons men seek hormone testing. Many are surprised when their results return as “normal”, yet their symptoms persist. This often leads to frustration, confusion, or the assumption that testosterone must still be the problem.

Men often focus on a single number when assessing testosterone usually total testosterone. While this is an important marker, it is only one part of a broader clinical picture. Relying on testosterone alone can lead to missed diagnoses, inappropriate treatment, or unnecessary concern.
