Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Restore Your Vitality
In adult males, testosterone is the hormone responsible for controlling sex drive, maintaining muscle mass, and producing sperm. Understanding your testosterone levels may help if you are experiencing low sex drive, infertility, erectile dysfunction and more. 25% of men over the age of 30 have low testosterone levels. You must be over 18 years old to use this test.
Treatment Options
The best treatment for low testosterone depends on the cause, the severity of symptoms, the individual’s goals (e.g. fertility preservation), and overall health. That said, the gold standard for treating confirmed hypogonadism is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). TRT directly raises testosterone levels to the normal physiological range and relieves symptoms like fatigue, low libido, ED, depression, and muscle loss.
Common Forms of TRT
Testogel (Gel)
A topical gel applied to the shoulders, upper arms and sometimes, the abdomen. It delivers testosterone through the skin into the bloodstream to restore levels to a normal physiological range. Provides a steady release of testosterone.
Tostran (Gel)
This works similarly to Testogel in its application and release into the bloodstream but has a higher concentration.
Cypionate (Injectable)
Long-acting injectable testosterone (1-2x weekly) that maintains steady hormone levels. Ideal for men who want flexible, self-managed TRT but requires discipline and monitoring.
Alternative Medications
Alternative medications may be more suitable for men who have been diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism or who want to preserve their fertility. For example, Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) stimulates the body to produce its own testosterone and doesn’t suppress sperm production. Alternatively, treatment with pituitary hormones or gonadotropins like hCG or FSH would directly influence gonadal testosterone and sperm production.
Lifestyle Changes
In mild or borderline cases, lifestyle change is one of the most important aspects to consider because it often addresses the root cause. Losing weight, improving sleep, resistance training and cardiovascular exercise, reducing alcohol and managing chronic illness can all have a profound effect on testosterone levels. At Harley Street Medical, you will get access to nutrition education and lifestyle advice to support TRT.
