Are you experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, decreased libido, or mood changes, and suspect poor sleep might be a factor? You're not alone. The connection between testosterone and sleep is critical, and disruptions in one often impact the other. If you're looking for solutions, you can explore whether testosterone replacement therapy is appropriate for you through a licensed EU doctor. Hi Doctor offers a convenient online consultation for just €25. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU.
How it works: get your testosterone prescription in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
- A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
- If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.
Who qualifies for testosterone treatment
When you consult with a Hi Doctor physician, they carefully assess your medical history and symptoms to determine if testosterone treatment is appropriate. Doctors look for clinical signs of hypogonadism (low testosterone) coupled with symptomatic presentation. This typically involves reviewing:
- Blood test results: Confirming consistently low testosterone levels.
- Symptoms: Including chronic fatigue, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle weakness, increased body fat, and mood disturbances.
- Overall health: Assessing for contraindications such as prostate cancer, severe heart conditions, or uncontrolled sleep apnea.
The doctor's goal is to ensure treatment is safe and genuinely beneficial for your specific health profile.

What testosterone treatment actually does (and doesn't do)
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) aims to restore testosterone levels to a normal range, alleviating symptoms associated with low testosterone. It can lead to improvements in energy, mood, sexual function, muscle mass, and bone density. However, it's not a miracle cure. While many men report significant symptom relief, individual responses vary. It does not cure underlying conditions causing low testosterone, nor is it a performance-enhancing drug. The doctor will discuss realistic expectations and the treatment plan if it's deemed appropriate for you.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, testosterone treatment can have side effects. Common ones include acne, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count (requiring monitoring), and prostate enlargement. Less common but serious side effects can include sleep apnea exacerbation, blood clots, or cardiovascular issues. Your Hi Doctor physician will discuss these risks with you. You should stop treatment and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, slurred speech, or unexplained swelling or pain in your leg.
