What is (TRT) Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment for men with clinically low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism. This therapy restores testosterone to a healthy range, helping reverse the symptoms caused by testosterone deficiency.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone:
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Reduced sexual drive or erectile difficulties
- Mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression) or poor focus (brain fog)
- Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat

Who Should Consider TRT?
TRT may be suitable for men who:
- Have clinically confirmed low testosterone levels, on two separate morning blood tests.
- Experience ongoing fatigue or low energy despite good sleep and lifestyle habits.
- Notice reduced sex drive, erectile difficulties, or decreased performance.
- Struggle with mood changes, including irritability, low mood, or lack of focus.
- Have experienced loss of muscle mass, strength, or a shift toward increased body fat.
- Are not responding to lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction).
- Have underlying hypogonadism, including age-related testosterone decline.
- Are looking to restore vitality, motivation, and quality of life.
TRT Dosage Forms:
The most suitable approach for you will be recommended to you by your Anrdrologist:
Intramuscular injections
Reliable absorption, usually administered every 1–2 weeks
Transdermal gels or creams
Daily application for those who prefer a needle-free option
Oral tablets
Supportive treatments
In some cases, we introduce supportive treatments such as:
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to maintain fertility and testicular function
- Low-dose aromatase inhibitors if needed to balance hormone levels
Monitoring & Safety
TRT is a long-term therapy that requires medical oversight. Once on therapy, patients are monitored at regular intervals, at 6 weeks after starting treatment (to see initial response), then again at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months in the first year, to ensure testosterone levels remain in a safe and effective range.
Monitoring includes checks for:
- Hormone levels
- Prostate health (PSA)
- Blood count (haematocrit)
- Liver function and cardiovascular risk markers
