Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Houston

The Y Factor Difference: Root-Cause Medicine Meets Modern TRT

We don’t prescribe testosterone until we understand why it’s low. Our providers conduct an in-depth clinical evaluation and advanced hormone lab panel to uncover the source of the problem — whether hormonal, metabolic, lifestyle-related, or pituitary.

Your initial assessment includes:

• Total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, estradiol, prolactin, SHBG, thyroid, DHEA, cortisol
• Sleep, nutrition, and stress review
• Medication and health history screening
• Optional fertility assessment

By addressing underlying factors first, we can determine whether TRT is appropriate or if natural testosterone restoration (TET) is the better starting point.

How TRT Works

We use testosterone cypionate or enanthate, administered via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SubQ) injection.
Our goal: reach optimal physiologic levels — never “bodybuilder” doses — for sustainable energy, libido, and vitality.

Treatment Schedule:

• Dosed weekly or biweekly
• Lab monitoring at 6–12 weeks, then every 3–6 months
• Adjustments based on both lab values and symptoms

Expected Benefits

Men treated with medically supervised TRT typically experience:

• Improved energy and focus
• Increased libido and sexual performance
• Enhanced lean muscle mass and reduced body fat
• Better mood, motivation, and sleep quality
• Strengthened bone and cardiovascular health

Risks and Safety Monitoring

TRT is safe when properly prescribed and monitored. Possible side effects include:

• Polycythemia (elevated hematocrit)
• Mild acne or oiliness
• Fluid retention or mild blood pressure increase
• Fertility suppression (reversible with appropriate adjuncts)
• Prostate monitoring as clinically indicated

Our structured follow-up plan ensures early detection and proactive management of any side effects.

Fertility Considerations

Because exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production, fertility preservation is a key part of our counseling process.
Options include:

• hCG co-therapy to maintain testicular function
• Transition to natural testosterone therapy (TET) if fertility is a priority
• Long-term “off-ramp” protocols to safely restore natural hormone production
