Treatments

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is generally for individuals who have low levels of testosterone, a condition known as hypogonadism. This can occur naturally with aging or due to medical conditions such as testicular injury, pituitary disorders, or other hormonal imbalances.

TRT is typically for:

  • Men with clinically diagnosed low testosterone levels, which may cause symptoms like fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, or mood changes.
  • Transgender men or non-binary individuals undergoing hormone therapy as part of their gender transition.
  • Some women with low testosterone levels due to certain medical conditions, although TRT is less common for women.

Before starting TRT, individuals should undergo thorough medical evaluation to confirm low testosterone and determine whether the therapy is appropriate.

At My TRT Clinic, we offer a range of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) treatment options tailored to meet individual needs. Our available treatments include:

  1. Testosterone Injections: The most common form of TRT, delivered through intramuscular injections. We offer various protocols, including short-acting (weekly) and long-acting (every few weeks) injections.

  2. Testosterone Gels/Creams: Topical treatments that are applied to the skin daily. They provide a steady release of testosterone but require daily application.

  3. Testosterone Patches: Adhesive patches applied to the skin that deliver a controlled dose of testosterone throughout the day.

  4. Oral Treatments: We offer testosterone in oral forms, such as capsules or tablets, though less commonly prescribed due to their potential impact on liver health.

  5. Pellet Therapy: Small pellets inserted under the skin that release testosterone slowly over a few months.

Each treatment option is carefully assessed and prescribed based on individual medical needs and lifestyle preferences.

To start treatment at My TRT Clinic, follow these steps:

  1. Purchase a Blood Test: Begin by purchasing a blood test from our website to check your testosterone levels. You will need to have two consecutive blood test results that show low testosterone levels to be considered for treatment.

  2. Review Results: Once you have your results, they will be reviewed by our medical team. If both results confirm low testosterone levels, you will be eligible for treatment.

  3. Consult with Our Doctor: After confirming your eligibility, you will have a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss the most appropriate treatment plan based on your health profile and test results.

  4. Begin Treatment: Following the doctor’s consultation, if testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is deemed suitable, you can begin your treatment as prescribed.

Our team will guide you through the process every step of the way to ensure you receive the right care.

Side effects may include acne, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count, and changes in mood. However, these are typically manageable, and our doctors will monitor your progress closely to reduce risks.

TRT is a long-term commitment and often considered a lifelong treatment for those with low testosterone levels. However, your treatment plan will be regularly reviewed to ensure it remains suitable.

Injectable Testosterone

Testosterone injections can be done intramuscularly (into the muscle) or subcutaneously (under the skin). Your doctor will provide a demonstration and guidance on how to self-administer the injections safely.

The frequency of injections depends on the type of testosterone prescribed, but typically injections are administered either weekly or biweekly. This will be determined during your consultation.

Most patients self-administer their testosterone injections after receiving proper training. However, you may choose to visit a medical professional to have your injections administered if preferred.

The injections are generally well-tolerated, though you might feel a slight pinch or discomfort at the injection site. Your doctor will provide tips to minimize discomfort.

Consultations

During your consultation, your doctor will review your blood test results, discuss your symptoms, and assess your medical history. Together, you’ll decide on the most appropriate form and dosage of TRT for your needs.

Yes, My TRT Clinic offers virtual consultations, so you can discuss your treatment plan with your doctor from the comfort of your own home.

Regular follow-up consultations are essential for monitoring your progress and adjusting your dosage if necessary. These usually occur every 3–6 months, but your doctor will advise based on your individual needs.

The initial consultation typically lasts 30–60 minutes, as it includes a thorough review of your health, symptoms, and blood test results.

Delivery

Your prescribed medications will be delivered discreetly to your address via a trusted courier service. Delivery times may vary depending on your location.

No, we only deliver within the UK.

Returns

Due to the nature of prescription medications, we are unable to accept returns once your medication has been dispatched. Please ensure you discuss any concerns with your doctor before ordering.

If your medication arrives damaged or there is an error with your order, contact our customer service team immediately, and we will arrange a replacement.

If your treatment plan changes after consultation with your doctor, we may be able to adjust future orders, but prescription medications cannot be exchanged once dispatched.

On-going Medical Support

We offer continuous support through follow-up consultations, regular blood tests, and access to our medical team to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.

Typically, we recommend blood tests every 3–6 months to monitor your testosterone levels and overall health. Your doctor will provide a personalized schedule based on your progress.

Dosage adjustments may be necessary depending on your response to the treatment. Regular consultations and blood tests will help determine if changes are needed.

Yes, you can reach out to our team if you have any concerns or questions between your scheduled consultations.

Stopping TRT

While TRT is often a lifelong treatment, you can stop at any time. However, discontinuing TRT may cause your symptoms of low testosterone to return. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.

Stopping TRT abruptly may lead to a rapid decline in testosterone levels, causing symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and reduced libido to return. It’s essential to consult with your doctor to discuss a safe plan for discontinuing treatment.

Some individuals may experience symptoms similar to those of low testosterone, such as mood changes or fatigue, after stopping TRT. A gradual reduction in dosage, under medical supervision, can help manage these symptoms.

Yes, you can restart TRT, but you will need to undergo new blood tests and a consultation with your doctor to ensure it is still appropriate for you.
