Does everyone need TRT?

Not always — here's how we find the right answer for you

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be life-changing for the right person — but it isn't for everyone. A proper assessment comes first, because for some men, the answer lies in lifestyle rather than treatment.

The short answer: No — not everyone needs TRT. It's sometimes possible to improve your testosterone levels by adjusting your lifestyle, which is why a thorough assessment is always the starting point.

Finding the right answer for you

Part of the diagnosis process involves assessing your lifestyle and overall health, using comprehensive blood tests, to see whether TRT is right for you.

Testosterone levels can be low in both men and women for numerous reasons — so our clinical team will always try to find a clear cause for low levels wherever possible, rather than simply treating the symptom.

Common causes of low testosterone

Primary hypogonadismThe testes don't produce enough testosterone.

Secondary hypogonadismThe brain's signals that prompt testosterone production are reduced.

Age-related declineTestosterone naturally falls gradually as men get older.

Hormonal imbalancesOther hormone issues can affect your testosterone levels.

MedicationsSome medicines can lower testosterone as a side effect.
