Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Opioids and T?
Opioids suppress T. Pain and psych plans must talk to each other.
Telehealth?
Lab review and counseling if you are in Florida. Not a mail-order steroid service.
Can I stay on my mill protocol?
Only if it is safe. Many are not.
Sleep apnea?
We screen. Treating apnea can change T and mood without TRT.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
How close is the office?
0 minutes from Hollywood.
Men's Testosterone Therapy versus a generic template visit
Gym TRT is not medicine.
