In Part 2 of our testosterone series, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster take a deeper look at testosterone replacement therapy for men—from understanding the underlying causes of low testosterone to exploring treatment options and the importance of proper medical monitoring.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Finding the cause: Why low testosterone requires more than a single lab test.
• Treatment options: Testosterone injections, topical gels and creams, pellets, and oral medications.
• Testosterone and fertility: How testosterone replacement can affect sperm production and plans for having children.
• Safety and monitoring: Why regular lab work, including blood counts and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing when appropriate, matters during treatment.
• Finding the right approach: How symptoms, lab results, individual needs, and follow-up care factor into treatment decisions.

Testosterone replacement therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. If you're experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, it's important to work with a qualified medical provider who can investigate the cause, discuss your options, and help you determine the safest approach for your situation.

Don't miss Part 3, where we turn our attention to testosterone in women and discuss why this hormone matters for women's health, too!
