The latter is a hormone found in high levels during female pregnancy that may increase testosterone in people with low T, while the former is a drug that induces the pituitary gland to produce more luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which are precursors to testosterone that influence sperm and testosterone production in the testicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For men with abnormally low testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be prescribed, particularly for men who can no longer produce their own T. TRT can be applied as an injection, topical gels, patches, or creams, mouth patches, implants, and other formulations currently under development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caveat emptor, though: all FDA-approved testosterone products contain warnings about how they might increase heart disease and stroke risks upon use based on scientific studies that TRT may indeed increase said risks. Other studies contradict the latter findings, with some determining that no tangible change in cardiovascular health risks. In short, more research is necessary to determine the true risks of testosterone replacement therapy in relation to heart health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, before going on a regimen of testosterone therapy or lifestyle changes to promote testosterone production, consult your primary healthcare specialist and let them know about your potential symptoms that might indicate something amiss with your hormonal levels.
