The only way to be sure if you are a candidate for testosterone therapy is to have your blood tested. A testosterone blood test will reveal if you have low testosterone, also known as “Low-T,” and therefore qualify for testosterone therapy.

We require blood work after the first 8 weeks of treatment, 6 months after that then once yearly thereafter. The 8-week labs are very important to determine how you are responding to the medication and to assess if any changes need to be made.

There is no definite answer. Typically, in the first month of therapy our patients start to notice a difference. Examples would be weight loss, better sleep, increased muscle definition, sharper concentration, increased libido, etc.

One of the main side effects of TRT is testicular atrophy. This is a usual response because when you give your body testosterone from the outside, then it adjusts and your testicles will not need to produce as much. We do have ways to mitigate testicular atrophy, such as giving HCG (Human Chronic Gonadotropin) in conjunction with TRT.

Many men wonder if testicular size will return to normal afterwards. In most cases, the answer is yes, however this is not 100% guaranteed.

Yes. In most cases your testosterone levels will return to the levels that you had prior to TRT.

Yes!

Compounding pharmacies are important to supply medications to patients when the company brand runs in short supply. They are highly regulated and use the exact same ingredients as in the branded testosterone, thereby giving it the same safety parameters. We use highly reputable compounded pharmacies locally here in Austin.
