TRTBuild around your prescriber’s plan
For prescribed TRT, the Endocrine Society recommends checking hematocrit at baseline, at 3 to 6 months and annually afterward, and checking testosterone 3 to 6 months after starting. The timing of a testosterone draw depends on the formulation. Your prescriber may adjust follow-up based on your history or results.
Log the conditions of each draw
Save the lab, assay, units, draw time and timing relative to your prescribed treatment. Bring symptoms and any changes in medications or supplements.
Ask which extras change a decision
PSA depends on age, risk and shared decision-making. Estradiol, lipids and metabolic markers can serve different clinical questions. Bring your lab list to your clinician before buying a bundle.
