What Testosterone Does (and Why Low Levels Can Affect So Much)
Testosterone influences multiple systems in the body, including:
- Sexual function and libido
- Mood and sense of well-being
- Body composition and muscle maintenance
- Red blood cell production
- Energy and motivation
Medical guidelines recognize testosterone therapy as appropriate for men with consistent symptoms and unequivocally low testosterone confirmed on testing, after discussing benefits, risks, and a monitoring plan. This is why it is critical to be guided by a trained, experienced physician who knows how to handle any side effects, issues, and questions.

Common Symptoms People Associate With Low Testosterone
People often seek an evaluation for testosterone deficiency when they experience combinations of:
- Low libido or reduced sexual performance
- Fatigue, low drive, or reduced motivation
- Decreased strength, slower recovery, or reduced muscle mass
- Increased body fat (especially central weight gain)
- Depressed mood or irritability
- Trouble concentrating or “brain fog”
Important: Symptoms alone are not enough. Proper diagnosis requires lab confirmation and clinical evaluation.

Who Is (and Isn’t) a Candidate
for Testosterone Therapy
You may be a candidate if:
- You have symptoms consistent with testosterone deficiency
- Your testosterone is repeatedly low on appropriately timed lab testing (often morning draws for men)
- A clinician evaluates contributing factors (sleep, weight, medications, alcohol, stress, thyroid, prolactin, etc.)
Testosterone therapy is not recommended simply for “normal aging” without medical confirmation of deficiency. The FDA has specifically cautioned against using testosterone products for low testosterone due to aging alone.

Testosterone Therapy Options (Pellets, Injections, Oral, Topical & More)
There are multiple FDA-approved ways to deliver testosterone, each with tradeoffs in convenience, dosing consistency, side effects, and cost.
Below is a practical, patient-friendly overview.
1. Testosterone Injections (IM or Subcutaneous)
Best for: People who want a cost-effective option with flexible dosing.
How it works:
Testosterone is administered on a schedule determined by your clinician. Dosing frequency can vary based on the formulation and how your body responds.
Pros:
- Adjustable dosing
- Often cost-effective
- No daily application
Considerations:
- Hormone levels can fluctuate depending on dose and schedule
- Requires injections and supplies
- Needs lab monitoring to ensure safe levels and minimize side effects
At The Resurge Clinic, testosterone injections are one of our primary hormone therapy options.
2. Testosterone Pellets (Subdermal Implants)
Best for: People who prefer a “set it and forget it” approach and don’t want frequent dosing.
How it works:
Small pellets are placed under the skin in a brief in-office procedure, releasing testosterone over time.
Pros:
- No daily application
- No weekly injections
- Convenience for many patients
Considerations:
- Dosing changes are slower once pellets are placed
- Minor procedure required
- Monitoring still required
At The Resurge Clinic, bio-identical pellet therapy is a core hormone therapy option and in fact, Dr. Kris Wusterhausen is the physician who trains other physicians on this procedure.
3. Topical Testosterone (Gels/Creams/Solutions)
Best for: People who prefer non-injection options and can commit to daily use.
How it works:
Applied to skin daily; testosterone is absorbed through the skin.
Pros:
- No needles
- Easy to stop/adjust if needed
Considerations:
- Daily adherence required
- Risk of accidental transfer to others through skin contact if not careful
- Absorption can vary by person
4. Oral Testosterone (e.g., Testosterone Undecanoate)
Best for: People who want an oral route and qualify based on medical history and clinician judgment.
How it works:
Oral testosterone undecanoate is an FDA-approved oral option for certain patients.
Pros:
- Oral dosing (no injections/topicals)
Considerations:
- Not the same as older oral anabolic steroids (different pharmacology), but still requires medical oversight
- Monitoring is essential, including attention to blood pressure and other risks
5. Nasal Testosterone Gel
Best for: People who want a non-injection option and can dose multiple times per day (depending on product).
Pros:
- Avoids skin-to-skin transfer concerns seen with some topicals
Considerations:
- More frequent daily dosing for some products
- Nasal irritation for some patients
6. Transdermal Patches and Buccal Options
Best for: Specific cases where consistent daily dosing is preferred and the patient tolerates the route.
Considerations:
- Skin irritation can occur with patches
- Buccal options can cause local irritation
How We Choose the Right Therapy (The Practical Decision Framework)
We recommend and consider the following critical decisions when recommending the right method of hormone therapy:
- Your symptoms and goals (energy, libido, performance, body composition)
- Your lab patterns and how stable your levels need to be
- Your preference (daily vs weekly vs longer-acting)
- Your tolerance for needles, procedures, or daily application
- Your travel schedule and lifestyle
Clinical guidelines emphasize selecting a regimen based on patient preference, pharmacokinetics, treatment burden, and cost—with ongoing monitoring.
What to Expect at The Resurge Clinic
Consultation and Symptom Review
We start with a medical intake that looks beyond “low T” and evaluates likely contributors such as sleep quality, stress, nutrition, training, alcohol intake, and medications.
Labs and Medical Evaluation
Diagnosis and treatment decisions should be grounded in lab confirmation and clinical assessment—not symptoms alone.
Personalized Plan and Therapy Selection
If you qualify, we’ll discuss the pros/cons of testosterone therapy options and choose a delivery method that fits your life. (Injections and pellets are core options at our clinic.)
Monitoring and Optimization
Ongoing follow-up is a critical part of safe TRT. Professional guidelines stress monitoring response and adverse effects throughout treatment.
Benefits People Commonly Seek From TRT (and What the Science Actually Supports)
In properly selected patients with confirmed testosterone deficiency, testosterone therapy is used to improve symptoms and maintain secondary sex characteristics.
Many patients pursue TRT hoping to improve:
- Sexual desire and sexual function
- Energy and vitality
- Mood and well-being
- Training recovery and body composition
Results vary. Your starting levels, sleep, training, nutrition, alcohol intake, and medical conditions strongly influence outcomes. Monitoring and dose individualization matter.

Risks, Side Effects, and Safety Notes You Should Know
Responsible TRT includes a real discussion of risks and a structured monitoring plan.
Potential concerns include (and may not be limited to):
- Increased hematocrit / red blood cell concentration (can raise clot risk in some patients)
- Acne or oily skin
- Fluid retention
- Fertility suppression (testosterone can reduce sperm production)
- Worsening untreated sleep apnea
- Prostate-related monitoring considerations (especially in men at risk)
Cardiovascular and blood pressure labeling:
- In 2025, the FDA updated testosterone product labeling following review of the TRAVERSE trial and required blood pressure studies, including warnings about increased blood pressure for products that did not already have it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need labs before starting testosterone?
Yes. Medical guidelines recommend confirming consistently low testosterone with appropriate testing as part of diagnosing testosterone deficiency.
What’s the difference between pellets and injections?
Injections are typically dosed on a recurring schedule and can be adjusted more quickly. Pellets are implanted in-office and release testosterone over time, offering convenience but slower adjustability once placed.
Is TRT only for men?
Testosterone is not a weight-loss drug. Some people notice favorable changes in body composition when deficiency is corrected alongside training, nutrition, and sleep. Your clinician should set expectations based on your situation and labs.
Can TRT affect fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. If fertility is a priority, discuss this before starting therapy.
How soon will I feel results?
This varies. Some symptom improvements may appear within weeks, while other changes (like body composition) often take longer and depend heavily on lifestyle factors. Ongoing monitoring is important.
