Your doctor will check carefully to see if you are a suitable candidate for testosterone replacement therapy, including performing blood tests and a physical examination. If you have an established prostate tumor or have breast cancer you would not be a suitable candidate for testosterone replacement therapy.

However, if you are a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy, the options include oral capsules, injections and skin patches. Expect your physician to monitor your progress and your overall health while on testosterone treatment. If you are like the majority of men, you will experience very few side effects, if any.

Testosterone therapy is shown to be highly effective at relieving andropausal symptoms, usually within 3 to 6 weeks. Most men feel more vigorous; have improved sexual performance and a better sense of well-being.
