what is TRT Screening? (€169)
TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) screening involves a blood test to check testosterone levels, which is typically recommended for men experiencing symptoms like low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or reduced muscle mass. The screening helps determine if low testosterone is the cause of symptoms and guides treatment decisions. Screening often includes a comprehensive health check, and you may be advised on fasting or other medication instructions beforehand.
Why is a TRT test performed?
- To diagnose low testosterone: A blood test can reveal if a person’s testosterone levels are abnormally low, which can be caused by a variety of factors including age, chronic illness, or genetic conditions.
- To evaluate symptoms: Screening is performed when symptoms of abnormal testosterone levels are present, such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, fatigue, or depression.
- To support treatment decisions: The results help doctors determine the most appropriate treatment, which may include Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), lifestyle changes, or other therapies
