Available Testosterone Therapy Options
Available Testosterone Therapy Options
Injectable Testosterone
Injectable testosterone can be administered either subcutaneously (under the skin) or intramuscularly (into the muscle). Injections are typically given every 7–14 days depending on your individualized treatment plan. Many patients prefer injections because they are effective, reliable, and easy to manage.
Testosterone Gel
Testosterone gel is applied daily to the skin, allowing the hormone to be absorbed through the bloodstream. This option can be convenient for patients who prefer to avoid injections.
Testosterone Pellets
Testosterone pellets are small implants placed just under the skin during a quick in-office procedure. The pellets slowly release testosterone over time and are typically replaced every 3 months, providing a consistent level of hormone support without weekly injections.
