(TRT) Testosterone Replacement Therapy
What is (TRT) Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment for men with clinically low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism. This therapy restores testosterone to a healthy range, helping reverse the symptoms caused by testosterone deficiency.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone:
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Reduced sexual drive or erectile difficulties
Mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression) or poor focus (brain fog)
Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
Who Should Consider TRT?
TRT may be suitable for men who:
Have clinically confirmed low testosterone levels, on two separate morning blood tests.
Experience ongoing fatigue or low energy despite good sleep and lifestyle habits.
Notice reduced sex drive, erectile difficulties, or decreased performance.
Struggle with mood changes, including irritability, low mood, or lack of focus.
Have experienced loss of muscle mass, strength, or a shift toward increased body fat.
Are not responding to lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction).
Have underlying hypogonadism, including age-related testosterone decline.
Are looking to restore vitality, motivation, and quality of life.
TRT Dosage Forms:
The most suitable approach for you will be recommended to you by your Anrdrologist:
Intramuscular injections – Reliable absorption, usually administered every 1–2 weeks
Transdermal gels or creams – Daily application for those who prefer a needle‑free option
Oral tablets
In some cases, we introduce supportive treatments such as:
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to maintain fertility and testicular function
Low‑dose aromatase inhibitors if needed to balance hormone levels
Monitoring & Safety
TRT is a long-term therapy that requires medical oversight. Once on therapy, patients are monitored at regular intervals, at 6 weeks after starting treatment (to see initial response), then again at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months in the first year, to ensure testosterone levels remain in a safe and effective range.
Monitoring includes checks for:
Hormone levels
Prostate health (PSA)
Blood count (haematocrit)
Liver function and cardiovascular risk markers
