Where to get Testosterone prescriptions?

If you’re in the DFW area I can recommend an outstanding urologist. I had the same issue with my PCP. As a rule they simply don’t have sufficient experience managing TRT. Anyone can prescribe it but not everyone can properly manage it. I recently relocated out of the country and I have the...

Starting Nebido

Starting Nebido

Cessation Advice

Cessation Advice

I'll try to keep this short. A little over a year ago my GP put me TRT at 300mg/wk. This was after an initial blood test and a second to confirm the first. I was left on that dosage for a year until this past November when I had a yearly physical and my labs revealed my testosterone level was...
