WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT)?

TRT stands for Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

TRT is prescribed to men who can’t make enough testosterone on their own and who are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as decreased libido, fatigue, muscle loss, and mood changes. TRT aims to restore testosterone levels to a normal range and alleviate these symptoms. At Prime Life Clinic, TRT is administered in the form of injections or a compounded testosterone cream.

DO I NEED TRT?

An in-depth analysis by a doctor trained in TRT, is required to determine this. Blood tests, along with medical history and information about lifestyle helps us decide on the right treatment for you.

WHY GET TRT TREATMENT PRIVATELY?

TRT is often sought privately, despite treatment being available through the NHS.

From our perspective, there exist several reasons, with the following being key issues you might encounter:

1. The NHS typically conducts tests solely for total testosterone levels, providing an incomplete understanding of how your body utilizes testosterone.

2. TRT treatment through the NHS may not adequately address your testosterone concerns, as the treatment approaches and ongoing management of testosterone levels may not meet the standards upheld by private TRT clinics.

3. Private clinics often boast highly skilled doctors who specialize in this particular treatment.

4. Frequently, private clinics are established by TRT experts or individuals actively undergoing treatment themselves.

5. The blood testing methods employed by private clinics for accurately assessing low testosterone levels are often more advanced than those utilized by the NHS, offering a more precise depiction of your overall health.

HOW IS HYPOGONADISM (LOW TESTOSTERONE) DIAGNOSED?

Hypogonadism comes in two forms – primary and secondary.
Primary hypogonadism, also known as primary testicular failure, refers to a condition where the testicles are unable to produce adequate levels of testosterone and sperm due to intrinsic dysfunction.

Secondary hypogonadism refers to a condition where the dysfunction lies not within the testicles themselves, but rather in the parts of the brain that regulate the production of testosterone. In secondary hypogonadism, the brain fails send sufficient levels of the hormones necessary to stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE?

Low mood, brain fog, low energy, reduced muscle mass or weakness, low libido and erectile dysfunction, lack of motivation, insomnia, loss of interest in life.
