FAQs

What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?
TRT is a medical intervention that involves administering exogenous testosterone to patients with clinically low levels, aimed at alleviating symptoms associated with hypogonadism or age-related hormonal decline (andropause).
What symptoms can TRT help with?

TRT can improve energy levels, increase libido, enhance mood stability, support muscle mass and strength, reduce body fat, and help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Who is a good candidate for TRT?
Men experiencing consistently low morning testosterone readings on blood tests, combined with moderate to severe symptoms of low testosterone (e.g., reduced sexual desire, chronic fatigue, muscle weakness) may benefit. A thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider—including review of medical history and lab results—is essential to determine suitability.
Are there risks associated with TRT?
While TRT can be highly effective, it carries potential risks such as elevated hematocrit (which can increase the risk of blood clots), changes in lipid profiles, potential exacerbation of sleep apnea, and possible impacts on prostate health. Regular monitoring of blood counts, PSA levels, and lipid panels is crucial to mitigate these risks.
How long can I stay on TRT?

The duration varies per individual. Some men may use TRT for a few years to navigate symptomatic andropause, while others remain on therapy long-term under close medical supervision. Ongoing follow-ups—typically every 3–6 months—ensure safety and efficacy, and therapy adjustments are made as needed.
