May not be right for
- Plans to father a child soon (discuss fertility first)

What to expect
Consultation
You talk through your symptoms, health history and goals, including whether you hope to have children. It helps to bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.
Lab testing
Testosterone is usually measured with a morning blood test, when levels tend to be higher, and a low result is often confirmed with a repeat test. Other labs, such as a blood count, may be checked too.
Your plan, if appropriate
If your results and symptoms support treatment, your provider explains the options and what monitoring involves. If they do not, your provider can talk through other possible causes.
Follow-up
Repeat labs and check-ins track your testosterone, blood count and how you feel, so your plan can be adjusted.
Safety and side effects
Side effects of testosterone therapy can include acne or oily skin, fluid retention, breast tenderness or swelling, a rise in red blood cell count and lower sperm production. It can also worsen sleep apnea in some men.
These effects are why testosterone therapy comes with regular blood work. Your provider reviews risks, benefits and alternatives with you.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Your provider will answer anything else at your consultation.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the plan your provider recommends, including the form of testosterone and the follow-up labs your plan needs. You can ask for pricing at your consultation. That way you understand the cost, and the monitoring that comes with treatment, before you decide whether to start.
What if I'm not a candidate?
If your labs do not show low testosterone, TRT is generally not the right fit, even when your symptoms are real. Your provider can talk through other possible causes, such as sleep problems, stress, thyroid issues or medications, and help you decide what to look into next.
Can TRT affect my fertility?
Yes, it can. Testosterone therapy can lower sperm production, which may make it harder to conceive. If you hope to have children soon, tell your provider at the start. They can explain how this affects your options before you decide on treatment.
Can I take TRT with my current medications?
It depends on what you take. Testosterone can change how some medications work, including blood thinners and diabetes medicines. Bring a complete list to your consultation, including supplements and over-the-counter products, so your provider can look for interactions before suggesting a plan.
Is TRT a long-term treatment?
In many cases, yes. TRT supplies testosterone rather than changing why your levels are low, so it is often an ongoing treatment. If you end it, your levels generally fall back and symptoms may return. Talk with your provider before making any change, so it can be planned with you.
