Who qualifies for testosterone replacement therapy

Our EU-licensed doctors look for clinical evidence of low testosterone (hypogonadism) and assess your overall health to determine if testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is appropriate. This involves a review of your symptoms, medical history, and recent blood test results showing low testosterone levels. Common symptoms that may indicate low testosterone include persistent fatigue, decreased libido, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat (especially around the abdomen), and mood disturbances. The doctor will consider contraindications such as prostate cancer, severe heart failure, or untreated sleep apnea before prescribing. TRT is not a weight-loss drug, but if low testosterone is contributing to weight gain or difficulty losing weight, addressing it may support your efforts.

What testosterone actually does (and doesn't do)

Testosterone is a vital hormone influencing muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and mood. It plays a significant role in metabolism, affecting how your body processes fats and carbohydrates. Healthy testosterone levels support lean muscle mass. Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat, meaning it burns more calories at rest, which can help with weight management. Low testosterone can lead to decreased muscle and increased fat, particularly around the abdomen. While TRT can help restore muscle mass and reduce body fat when levels are clinically low, it is not a magic bullet for weight loss. It works best in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Realistic timelines for observing changes vary, but patients often report improved energy and body composition within a few months of starting appropriate therapy.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, testosterone replacement therapy can have side effects. Common side effects include acne, oily skin, fluid retention, or breast enlargement (gynecomastia). More serious, though less common, side effects can include an increased risk of blood clots, sleep apnea exacerbation, or prostate enlargement. It's crucial to discuss any existing medical conditions with your doctor. You should stop TRT and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness on one side of your body, or sudden severe headache. Regular monitoring by your Hi-Doctor physician is essential to manage these risks and ensure the treatment remains safe and effective for you.
