Hormone Injection Treatment

This treatment method involves administering controlled amounts of the testosterone hormone to the body in order to replace what the body is unable to naturally produce. This is done through hormone injections in which a specialist at Potomac Urology will directly inject testosterone hormone into the patient’s body. Many patients often also complete these injections on their own at home every 10-14 days as well.
