Frequently Asked Questions
Testosterone is the primary male hormone which is produced via the testicles and is responsible for many male characteristics. Testosterone plays an important role in helping boys become men and helps them develop male characteristics such as a deep voice, muscular physique and body hair. Testosterone is also vital to a male fertility and sex drive and ensures reproduction is possible.
TRT prices can range from £50 to £150 per month in the UK. Private clinics vary in cost however these are the fairly typical price bands you will see in the UK. The NHS does offer TRT for free, however it’s hard to get diagnosed and the methods of TRT prescribed are far from ideal.
TRT can improve libido, mental focus, muscle mass, fat reduction and more. It has a wide range of benefits, this is why it’s important to maintain good levels of testosterone. When men age they begin to lose 1.5% of testosterone each year which does not sound like a lot but gradually adds up to be a significant deficit in total testosterone.
You can but we would highly advise sticking with it for life since TRT replaces the natural testosterone produced by the testes, it does not compliment the natural production to form a total. Kicking starting the natural production of testosterone after using TRT is not always easy/successful.
f you are planning to have children with your partner it is important to consider that TRT can make you infertile, however it has been common practice to use HCG injections in conjunction with TRT to maintain fertility. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is a hormone that can help increase the chances of pregnancy as it helps produce testosterone and sperm.
