A candidate for TRT is an adult man with symptoms of low testosterone, low testosterone confirmed on blood work, and no condition that makes testosterone unsafe or that explains the symptoms better. The decision belongs to a licensed provider after reviewing your labs and history.
What this means for you
The screening matters as much as the lab value. Providers look for prostate or breast cancer, a high hematocrit, untreated severe sleep apnea, uncontrolled heart failure and recent cardiac events, among other things, and they ask about plans to father children because testosterone therapy suppresses sperm production. Some men with low numbers are better served by treating another condition first; some with borderline numbers and clear symptoms warrant a closer look. None of that can be decided by a form.
How it works at Biotech Lifestyle
Our intake collects the history, labs are drawn before the visit and the provider reviews both with you. If testosterone therapy is not appropriate, the provider says so and discusses alternatives.
