Abstract
In the case of low testosterone, many people undergo testosterone replacement therapy to improve testosterone levels, energy levels, and sex drive. But a low testosterone level does not require such treatment as it causes many side effects, some of them can be serious. Therefore, it is better to adopt alternative measures to improve testosterone levels. Ayurvedic treatment is the most suitable option for testosterone replacement therapy. Here we focused on the Best Alternative Ayurvedic Treatment offered by Planet Ayurveda. Planet Ayurveda offers TRT Care Pack which increases testosterone levels naturally and considered as a safe Ayurvedic Alternative to Testosterone Replacement Therapy because it does not cause any side effects.
What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is also known as androgen replacement therapy (ART). It is a hormone therapy in which testosterone or androgen is replaced. TRT is generally prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism, defined as the dysfunctioning of the gonads (involving the testes or ovaries), resulting in a lack of sex hormones. Basically, Testosterone replacement therapy is a therapy used to increase testosterone levels. It also restores sex derive and brings energy levels back to normal. TRT use in the United States increased from 0.5% in 2002 to 3.2% in 2013 and has reduced to 1.7% in 2016. (1) But there are various side effects of Testosterone replacement therapy.
Testosterone is a male sex hormone produced in the testicles. Its function in men is to maintain bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength and mass, facial and body hair, red blood cell production, sex drive, and sperm production. Testosterone hormone levels play an important role in maintaining normal male sexual development and functions. Its low level can interrupt these functions. The testosterone levels usually lower with age, so older men are more likely to have low testosterone levels. But there are also some other factors that can result in the decline in testosterone levels. According to Ayurveda, Vata dosha is responsible for a decrease in the production of hormones and their retransmission.
