Who qualifies
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is not for everyone. An EU-licensed doctor would assess individual medical history and current health status to determine if TRT is a safe and appropriate treatment. Eligibility typically depends on:
- Confirmed diagnosis of hypogonadism (low testosterone).
- Symptoms consistent with low testosterone levels.
- Absence of contraindications, such as prostate cancer or severe heart conditions.
For services offered by Hi-Doctor, the doctor's clinical assessment based on your secure online questionnaire is crucial. Remember, the doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring your safety and appropriate treatment.
What Testosterone Replacement Therapy actually does
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a treatment designed to restore testosterone levels to a normal range in men with clinically diagnosed low testosterone (hypogonadism). Testosterone is a vital hormone responsible for:
- Maintaining bone density and muscle mass.
- Producing red blood cells and sperm.
- Regulating fat distribution.
- Impacting mood, energy levels, and libido.
By normalizing testosterone levels, TRT can alleviate symptoms associated with hypogonadism, improving overall well-being and quality of life.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Testosterone Replacement Therapy can have side effects. These can include:
- Skin reactions (acne, oily skin).
- Fluid retention.
- Increased red blood cell count (polycythemia).
- Sleep apnea.
- Prostate enlargement or exacerbation of existing prostate issues.
It is crucial to discuss all potential side effects with your doctor. You should stop TRT and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms such as chest pain, sudden weakness, or vision changes. A physician would provide clear guidance on monitoring and when to consider discontinuing treatment, always prioritizing your health and safety.
