Frequently asked questions

About Our Medical Plans

Custom TRT provides testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for hypogonadism (low testosterone), erectile dysfunction (ED), testosterone preservation therapy (TPT) and Hormone Recovery Therapy (HRT). 

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) treats hypoganadism (low testosterone) in men. The treatment at Custom TRT focuses on applying a specialized treatment protocol specifically designed for the individual physiology of each of our patients. Our customized approach monitors our patients on a monthly basis, enabling our physicians and medical providers the ability to provide the most precise application of testosterone replacement therapy possible.

Erectile dysfunction, also known as ED, is the inability of the penis to achieve and/or maintain an erection during sexual activity. Custom TRT treats ED through medications and analyzes lifestyle choices that may be contributing factors.

Testosterone Preservation Therapy enables our patients to increase their own testosterone production while maintaining fertility at the same time. This treatment will likely increase sperm production.

Hormone Recovery Therapy treats patients that used testosterone in the past and have lost their fertility. This therapy enables our patients the ability to create their own testosterone and sperm, thus making themselves fertile again. 

Blood Tests

Yes. To properly diagnose a man with hypogonadism (“low T”) we need to obtain two lab tests, both done within the same week. Ideally, the tests should be completed a few days apart from one another with at least one being done in the morning. Custom TRT will send a prescription to the lab for two tests.

In order to customize the dose of testosterone specifically needed for your body we need to first understand what your true testosterone levels are. This can only be done properly by seeing how much testosterone is flowing into your body throughout different times of the day. We look at several other bloodwork indicators as well to get a true picture of where you’re at. It’s not just testosterone.

 

After treatment is initiated we will check your blood in 7 weeks to see how you’re responding and make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary. From then on blood tests will be done approximately once every three to four months. At Custom TRT we feel it is important to monitor our patients closely to achieve optimum results.

 

Most TRT places require one set of labs. At Custom TRT we require two because we understand the nature of how and when testosterone is released into the body and as a result we can learn how your body works.

 

Bloodwork review is a part of all medical plans, but Custom TRT does not conduct, distribute or take part in doing bloodwork. That is done separately by the lab in which it is the responsibility of the patient to settle all costs. The labs we use take insurance and for those without insurance, the labs apply discounts.

About Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone made in the testicles that essentially makes a man a man. It helps to control strength and muscle mass as
well as sex drive, body hair, bone density and a variety of other functions. Women also have testosterone but only 10% that of men.

 

The known causes include testicular injury and problems with the hypothalmus, pituitary and thyroid glands, obesity, lack of sleep,
alcohol or drug abuse and medical side effects. Some also theorize that high levels of stress
and processed food consumption may be contributing factors related to men having low
testosterone levels.

 

Yes. At Custom TRT we use a variety of name brand pharmaceutical and generic drugs to address this issue. We also look at lifestyle
habits that may also contribute to ED issues.

There can be. Some include: oily skin or acne, worsening sleep apnea, high red blood cell count, tenderness or swelling of the breast
(gynecomastia), lower sperm count, testicle shrinkage and prostate disorders.

At Custom TRT we monitor our patients monthly and do blood work every three months so side effects, if any, can be dealt with
immediately. Our goal however, is that they do not happen at all. This is a big difference between how we practice testosterone therapy compared to our competitors. You get what you pay for.

No. Custom TRT can provide care without a referral from your primary care provider.

The proper way to administer TRT is by injecting it into a muscle. This has shown to provide the most effective results. For those who prefer not to inject we also offer a topical cream.

Yes. In order to determine what the proper course of action is our medical team will need to review blood work.

No.Custom TRT writes a prescription for the patient to get blood drawn at a national lab connected with our company. Ex.

General Questions

Once a treatment has been decided upon, a Custom TRT medical provider will send out a prescription to one of our licensed affiliated pharmacies who will fulfill your order.  

No. In order to receive a new prescription you will need to meet with your Custom TRT medical provider to keep track of your progress and ensure proper dosing. 

Yes. The TSA website has specific rules about traveling with medication in the following link. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/travel-tips/can-you-pack-your-meds-pill-case-and-more-questions-answered. Please check with your airline if they require any additional information. In the event a medical note is required for travel, Custom TRT will be happy to provide one. 

Custom TRT is interested in practicing medicine the right way. In order to monitor your progress correctly we need to see you monthly. This helps prevent side effects from happening and allows your provider the ability to monitor your progress. Your health is too valuable to play around with. Seeing patients once, twice or three times a year is not doing this type of medicine properly. 

Yes. Outside of any unforeseen circumstance you will see the same provider for each meeting. We believe it’s important for our medical providers to be familiar with the patients they treat.
