FAQ
Common questions
Who qualifies for TRT?
TRT is indicated for men with clinically diagnosed hypogonadism (low testosterone + symptoms). Diagnosis requires both low serum testosterone (usually <300 ng/dL) and clinical symptoms (fatigue, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, decreased libido). This is determined through endocrinological evaluation, not self-diagnosis.
Is TRT legal in India?
Yes. Testosterone is a Schedule H medication in India, legally available with a valid prescription from a licensed endocrinologist or urologist. It is NOT a controlled narcotic. Prescription requires documented hypogonadism diagnosis and ongoing medical supervision.
What bloodwork is needed?
Pre-protocol: Total testosterone, free testosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol, lipid panel, PSA, CBC, liver/kidney function. During therapy: Quarterly monitoring includes testosterone levels, hematocrit (polycythemia risk), PSA (prostate cancer screening), and lipids. These bloodwork panels guide dosing adjustments.
What are the side effects?
At physiological doses, TRT is generally well-tolerated. Possible effects include acne, gynecomastia (managed with aromatase inhibitor if needed), polycythemia (elevated hematocrit — managed by reducing dose or donating blood), mood changes, and (rarely) liver changes. Long-term safety requires regular monitoring. Your physician will discuss all risks during consultation.
Can I stop TRT?
TRT can be discontinued, but recovery of natural testosterone production is not guaranteed and may take months. Discontinuation protocols exist to optimize recovery. If you have primary hypogonadism (testicular dysfunction), recovery is unlikely; secondary hypogonadism may recover with proper discontinuation. This is discussed with your endocrinologist before starting.
