Pembroke Pines FAQs for Men's Testosterone Therapy
Will TRT fix depression?
Only if hypogonadism is a real contributor. Many men need depression treatment with normal T.
Are you a urologist?
No. PMHNP-BC with hormone-informed psychiatry. We refer when urology is needed.
Can I stay on my mill protocol?
Only if it is safe. Many are not.
Telehealth?
Lab review and counseling if you are in Florida. Not a mail-order steroid service.
What about clots and hematocrit?
We monitor hematocrit. High counts need action, not another dose.
Anxiety on TRT?
Report it. Dose and diagnosis may be wrong.
