4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if TRT is appropriate for you. Generally, TRT is considered for adult men with clinically diagnosed low testosterone levels (hypogonadism) and associated symptoms. These symptoms can include:

• Persistent fatigue and low energy.
• Decreased libido and sexual dysfunction.
• Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat.
• Mood changes, irritability, or depression.
• Reduced bone density.

The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and symptoms to ensure TRT is safe and beneficial. Contraindications may include prostate cancer, breast cancer, severe heart, kidney, or liver disease, and untreated sleep apnea. Your individual case is reviewed carefully to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Testosterone Replacement Therapy actually does (and doesn't do)

Testosterone Replacement Therapy aims to restore your testosterone levels to a healthy range, alleviating symptoms caused by deficiency. Testosterone is a vital hormone influencing muscle mass, bone density, mood, and sexual function. When levels are low, TRT can:

• Improve Energy and Mood: Many patients report increased vitality and a more stable mood within weeks.
• Enhance Muscle Mass and Strength: You may notice improvements in physical performance and body composition over several months.
• Boost Libido and Sexual Function: TRT can significantly improve sexual desire and address erectile dysfunction.

TRT is not a quick fix for all issues and requires ongoing commitment. It doesn't guarantee a specific outcome for every individual, nor is it a cure for all age-related issues. Realistic expectations are key, and a doctor monitors your progress.

Side effects and when to stop

Like any medical treatment, Testosterone Replacement Therapy has potential side effects. Our doctors discuss these with you and monitor your health throughout the treatment. Common side effects can include:

• Acne or oily skin.
• Fluid retention.
• Increased red blood cell count.
• Sleep apnea exacerbation.
• Prostate enlargement.

More serious, though less common, risks can involve cardiovascular issues. It's crucial to report any concerning symptoms immediately to your doctor. You should stop TRT if you experience severe side effects, or if your doctor advises it due to health concerns or lack of benefit.
