&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;In males, testosterone is the primary sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In humans, testosterone helps male reproductive tissues like the testes and prostate grow and secondary sexual traits like muscle and bone mass and hair growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testosterone Injection Treatment to Manage Low Testosterone in Men&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Testosterone cypionate injection&amp;nbsp;is a synthetic form of testosterone. It is used to treat men with low testosterone levels, a condition known as &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/male-hypogonadism&quot;&gt;hypogonadism&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. When testosterone cypionate is injected into a muscle, it is slowly released over time, keeping the body&#39;s testosterone level steady. It is frequently prescribed to men with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/andropause&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;low testosterone levels due to ageing (andropause)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other medical conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Testosterone cypionate injection is also used as an androgen replacement therapy for men to improve symptoms such as low sexual drive, fatigue, and bone loss. Some bodybuilders and athletes also use it to increase muscle mass and improve performance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Testosterone replacement therapy can help restore low levels, resulting in increased energy, mental sharpness, and improved sexual function.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the Causes of Low Testosterone in Men?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;There are several possible causes of low testosterone in men, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Ageing&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Testosterone levels naturally decrease with age.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Obesity:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Men who are overweight or obese may have low&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;testosterone levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chronic illness:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Certain medical conditions, such as type &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/diabetes-related-mens-sexual-health-urological-conditions&quot;&gt;2 diabetes&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;kidney disease, and HIV/AIDS, can cause testosterone levels to drop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Some medications, such as steroids and opioids, can lower testosterone levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genetic conditions:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Certain genetic conditions, such as Klinefelter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome, can cause low testosterone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Testicular injury:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;An injury to the testicles can result in low&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;testosterone levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Stress:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Chronic stress can lead to decreased testosterone&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;levels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alcohol abuse:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Heavy alcohol consumption can cause testosterone&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;levels to drop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Low testosterone can also be a normal part of ageing; not all men with low testosterone will experience symptoms or need treatment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Low testosterone, or low T, can cause various symptoms in men. These can include:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;It&#39;s important to note that many of these symptoms can also be caused by other factors, and having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have low testosterone.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Testosterone cypionate injection is a prescription drug that is given to men who have low levels of testosterone. It is a short-acting form of testosterone and is typically injected into a muscle every one to two weeks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Before you use testosterone cypionate injection, you should read the guide your pharmacist gives you and do what your doctor tells you to do.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;The injection should be given into the muscle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Common areas of injection include thigh, arm, and buttocks.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Do not inject testosterone cypionate into a vein or under the skin.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;If you are self-injecting, follow all instructions for adequately&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;preparing and administering the injection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Side-Effects of Testosterone Cypionate Injection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Like all medications, there are side effects. Testosterone cypionate injection can cause various side effects, some of which can be serious.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;The most common side effects of testosterone cypionate injection may include the following:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Acne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oily skin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hair loss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Swelling of the breasts or breast tenderness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decreased sperm count&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mood changes, such as increased aggression or irritability&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Less common side effects of testosterone cypionate injection include the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;following:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Blood clots in the legs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Enlargement of the prostate gland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High red blood cell count&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sleep apnea (temporary&amp;nbsp;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;stopping of breathing during sleep)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these side effects while using testosterone cypionate injection. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or try a different treatment.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Sometimes, these side effects may go away on their own with time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;It&#39;s important to remember that everyone reacts differently to medications, and you may not experience any of these side effects. However, if you have any concerns about side effects, you should discuss them with your doctor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTES:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. Keep a list of all your products, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and vitamins. Give this list to your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the amount of medicine you are taking without first talking to your doctor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Misuse or abuse of testosterone can result in serious side effects such as heart disease (including heart attack), stroke, liver disease, mental/emotional issues, abnormal drug-seeking behaviour, or abnormal bone growth (in adolescents).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Do not increase your dose or take this medicine more often or for a longer time than your doctor tells you to. If you suddenly stop using testosterone after misusing or abusing it, you may have withdrawal symptoms like depression, irritability, and tiredness. These symptoms can last for several weeks or months. If your condition does not improve or worsens, notify your doctor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
