Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Will TRT fix depression?
Only if hypogonadism is a real contributor. Many men need depression treatment with normal T.
Anxiety on TRT?
Report it. Dose and diagnosis may be wrong.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Opioids and T?
Opioids suppress T. Pain and psych plans must talk to each other.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
