Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Accepted Answer

TRT is a medically supervised treatment for men with confirmed low testosterone and related symptoms. Your specialist reviews your history, testing, and goals before recommending a personalised plan.

Question 2

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Accepted Answer

HRT replaces hormones that can decline during menopause or other life stages. Treatment is tailored around your symptoms, health history, preferences, and clinical goals.

Question 3

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

When prescribed and monitored by qualified medical professionals, hormone therapy is generally safe. Our clinicians conduct thorough health assessments before treatment and monitor your progress regularly with blood tests and clinical evaluations.

Question 4

Who is a good candidate for TRT or HRT?

Accepted Answer

Good candidates are individuals with confirmed low hormone levels who are experiencing symptoms affecting their quality of life. Our specialists will review your medical history, conduct blood tests, and discuss your health goals to determine if treatment is appropriate.

Question 5

How long before I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Results vary by individual and treatment type. Some patients notice improvements in energy and mood within 2-4 weeks, while others may take 8-12 weeks to experience full benefits. We monitor your progress closely and adjust treatment as needed.

Question 6

Are there side effects?

Accepted Answer

Like all medical treatments, hormone therapy may have side effects that vary by individual. Our specialists will discuss potential side effects during your consultation and work to minimise any discomfort through careful dosing and monitoring.

Question 7

What happens during my first consultation?

Accepted Answer

We discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, goals, and any previous treatment. We then explain suitable next steps, which may include blood testing.

Question 8

Do I need blood tests before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Blood tests are commonly needed to understand your current hormone levels and wider health markers. Your specialist will advise which tests are appropriate for you.

Question 9

Can I have an online consultation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online consultations are available for many patients, with the same careful discussion and clinical review. Some assessments or follow-ups may still require in-person care.

Question 10

How is my treatment monitored?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring can include follow-up consultations, symptom reviews, blood tests, and discussion of any changes or concerns. Your plan is reviewed rather than left on autopilot.

Question 11

Will my treatment plan change over time?

Accepted Answer

It may. Hormone care is individual and your plan can be refined as your symptoms, test results, and priorities change.

Question 12

Can I continue treatment prescribed elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

We can review your existing treatment and records during a consultation. Any continuation or change must be clinically appropriate and supported by suitable information.

Question 13

How often will I need follow-up appointments?

Accepted Answer

The schedule depends on your treatment, response, and clinical needs. Your specialist will explain the recommended review points for your plan.

Question 14

Can HRT help with menopause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

HRT may help with symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, and vaginal symptoms. Your clinician will discuss whether it is suitable for you.

Question 15

Can TRT help with energy and mood?

Accepted Answer

If low testosterone is contributing to your symptoms, treatment may support energy, mood, sexual wellbeing, and body composition. Results vary and are assessed clinically.

Question 16

Can I exercise while receiving treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many patients continue their usual activities, but recommendations should reflect your health and treatment. We can discuss exercise, nutrition, recovery, and realistic goals during review.

Question 17

How long does treatment take to work?

Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy is not an instant solution. Improvements can appear at different times, and a clear assessment often requires several reviews over time.

Question 18

What if I am worried about starting treatment?

Accepted Answer

That is completely understandable. Consultation is a space to ask questions, discuss alternatives, and make an informed decision without pressure.

Question 19

Do you offer prescriptions and ongoing support?

Accepted Answer

Where treatment is clinically appropriate, we can discuss prescriptions, monitoring, and ongoing support as part of your care pathway.
