Improvement of testosterone levels can improve sexual concerns, bone health, muscle and anemia (low red cells in the blood). Hypogonadism can be treated with the use of doctor-prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. This treatment is safe and can be effective for men who are diagnosed with consistently abnormal low testosterone production and symptoms that are associated with this type of androgen (hormone) deficiency.

These injections are typically painless and can be done twice a month.
