Testosterone is a key hormone for men. It drives physical changes like muscle growth and a deeper voice, as well as psychological well-being, sex drive, and even bone density. When the testicles or the parts of the brain that control them aren’t working properly, the result can be low testosterone, or hypogonadism.
There are several ways to boost testosterone levels in men who need it. Doctors can prescribe injections, skin patches, gels, medications that stick to the gums or inner cheek, nasal gels, and even implanted pellets. Topical gels are a popular choice because they’re easy to use and deliver a fairly steady dose of testosterone.
Two of the best-known topical testosterone gels are AndroGel and Testim. Both are prescription medications designed to treat hypogonadism.
