  • About 5 million men in the U.S. have low testosterone, according to te National Institutes of Health. Testosterone replacement medications may be prescribed for men who have unusually low levels of this vital male hormone. Although there is no definitive research to substantiate the touted benefits of testosterone replacement therapy, it may have several positive effects, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    Testosterone replacement may increase bone mineral density and reduce the likelihood of bone fractures.

    Enhanced Energy & Libido

    Other potential benefits of testosterone therapy are higher energy levels and enhanced sexual desire, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    Mind

    Moodiness, depression and problems with muddled thinking may be resolved as a result of testosterone replacement.

    Hair & Skin

    The thinning of hair and skin due to low testosterone may be reversed with hormone replacement therapy.
