Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a personalized treatment approach that addresses the symptoms of low testosterone or “low T”. Low testosterone is a common concern among men that leads to a variety of symptoms and health risks, including erectile dysfunction, poor cardiovascular health and decreased lean muscle mass.
BHRT addresses these concerns by introducing extra testosterone into the body, usually in the form of subdermal pellet therapy. Unlike the synthetic hormones used in traditional HRT, the bioidentical compounds found in BHRT are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, leading to more effective and seamless integration.
TRT is suitable for men experiencing hormone imbalances, specifically low testosterone levels. Ideal candidates often seek relief from:
It's important to note that TRT may not be suitable for everyone, especially individuals with certain health conditions or histories. A thorough consultation and evaluation are essential to determine candidacy.

Gels: Can be applied to the upper arm, shoulder, or inner thigh. Some brands include AndroGel, Testim, and Vogelxo.
Shots: Testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone) and testosterone enanthate (Xyosted) are injected into a muscle or under the skin.
Patches: A patch containing testosterone is applied to the arm or torso each night.
Buccal tablets: A small, putty-like tablet is placed in the buccal cavity, which is the area above the top teeth where the gum meets the upper lip.
Nasal gel: A testosterone gel (Natesto) that is pumped into the nostrils.
Pellets: Testosterone-containing pellets are surgically implanted under the skin every 3 to 6 months.
Because each option has benefits and risks, consultation with the physician will be able to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Once T replacement has started, regular visits with symptom and laboratory evaluation every 3-4 months will be conducted. Dallas Men’s Health offers excellent T replacement programs for both injections and pellets.
Each bioidentical hormone pellet is designed to last approximately 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, activity level and hormone needs. Dr. Wierschem will monitor your hormone levels and symptoms to determine the optimal timing for pellet replacement.
Like any medical treatment, BHRT can have side effects, though they are generally minimal and manageable. You may experience acne, testicular atrophy, slight fluid retention or changes in mood or energy levels initially as your body adjusts to the new hormone levels. Communicate any side effects to your healthcare provider, who can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
BHRT can indirectly support weight loss efforts by addressing hormone imbalances that may contribute to weight gain, such as low testosterone levels. By restoring hormone balance, BHRT can improve metabolism, increase muscle mass and reduce fat accumulation, aiding in overall weight management.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, which often leads to better compatibility and fewer side effects. In contrast, synthetic hormones may have a slightly different chemical structure, which can affect how they work in the body. They're also associated with more severe side effects, such as an increased risk of blood clots.
