Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Men

Testosterone Therapy at Male Sexual Health Clinic, Lucknow

What Is HRT for Men?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) refers to supplementing or replacing testosterone in men who have clinically low levels and symptoms of hypogonadism. At our Lucknow-based clinic, we offer Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) as a core treatment for men with:

  • Age-related testosterone decline (andropause)

  • Medical conditions affecting hormone production

  • Confirmed low testosterone levels on testing

Our treatment is evidence-based, individualized, and closely monitored for safety and effectiveness.

Who Needs Testosterone Therapy?

You may be a candidate if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent fatigue

  • Very low sex drive or libido

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)

  • Loss of muscle mass despite regular exercise

  • Increased belly fat or weight gain

  • Mood changes (e.g. depression, irritability)

And blood tests confirm that your testosterone levels are below normal.

Other Possible Causes:

  • Pituitary gland disorders

  • Testicular injuries

  • Genetic conditions

  • High prolactin or thyroid dysfunction (which we address first if identified)

Therapy Options Available

We offer multiple delivery methods based on lifestyle preference and clinical suitability:

1. Intramuscular Injections

  • Administered every 2–4 weeks, or long-acting formulations every 10–14 weeks

  • Cost-effective and widely preferred

  • Can be self-injected or given in-clinic

2. Transdermal Gel or Patch

  • Daily application to the skin (shoulders or upper arms)

  • Provides steady hormone absorption

  • Non-invasive and avoids needle use

  • Requires consistent daily routine and precautions to prevent skin-to-skin transfer

3. Subcutaneous Implants (Pellets)

  • Inserted under the skin in a minor procedure

  • Provide long-term testosterone release (4–6 months)

  • Convenient for those who prefer less frequent dosing

We will help you choose the best method based on your goals, lifestyle, and medical considerations.

Benefits of TRT

Men on well-managed testosterone therapy often experience:

  • Higher energy and stamina

  • Improved mood and cognitive clarity

  • Increased muscle strength and reduced fat

  • Enhanced libido and erectile function

  • Better bone density and reduced osteoporosis risk

Our aim is to restore your levels to the mid-normal range of a healthy young male, so your body performs optimally.

Monitoring & Safety

We follow strict safety protocols and guidelines, including:

  • Baseline tests before starting TRT

  • Regular follow-ups to monitor:

    • Testosterone levels

    • Complete blood counts (to watch for blood thickening)

    • PSA levels (for prostate health)

    • Liver and lipid profile if needed

Fertility Consideration

  • Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production

  • For men planning to have children, we may use alternatives like:

    • hCG injections

    • Clomiphene citrate

  • Fertility counselling is standard for younger patients

Under expert supervision, TRT is a safe, effective, and life-changing treatment for men with true testosterone deficiency.

FAQs – Testosterone Therapy (TRT)

How soon will I see results?

  • Energy and mood often improve within 3–4 weeks

  • Libido and erections improve in 4–8 weeks

  • Body composition (muscle vs fat) improves over 3–6 months

What are the side effects of TRT?

  • Acne or oily skin

  • Mild fluid retention

  • Breast tenderness or slight breast tissue swelling (rare)

  • Increased red blood cell count – monitored closely

  • Prostate health risks are monitored via PSA; TRT doesn’t cause prostate cancer but isn’t started in men with existing prostate cancer

Most men tolerate therapy very well and report significant quality-of-life improvements.

Can testosterone help with ED or fertility?

  • TRT helps erectile function if low testosterone is the cause

  • ED from vascular or diabetes causes may need additional treatment

  • For fertility, exogenous testosterone can reduce sperm count, so alternative therapies are offered

Will I have to stay on TRT forever?

  • Depends on the cause:

    • Age-related decline may need long-term or lifelong TRT

    • Reversible causes may allow for temporary treatment

  • We reassess periodically and customize the duration

  • Stopping TRT will usually bring back symptoms if the deficiency persists
