This therapy is often used to address symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, and loss of muscle mass, which can result from conditions like hypogonadism. It involves the administration of testosterone through various methods, including injections, patches, gels, or implants, to restore normal hormone levels and improve overall well-being.
