-- As part of its ongoing efforts to make testosterone replacement therapy more accessible nationwide, TRT Australia has extended its telehealth services to Wollongong to provide patients with convenient options for treatment. To be eligible for treatment, men must have undergone a blood test within the past four months and present with symptoms of low testosterone.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment that is offered to men with testosterone deficiency, which can cause symptoms such as cognitive dysfunction, mood changes, weight gain, and muscle loss. While such symptoms are often associated with ageing, young men may also present with them if they have congenital birth defects, have previously suffered an injury to their brain or testes, have certain medical conditions, or engage in illicit drug use. Aside from impacting quality of life, chronically low testosterone can lead to issues such as anaemia and osteoporosis, making treatment particularly important for younger patients.
In Australia, TRT is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as long as it is deemed medically appropriate for a patient following a comprehensive health examination. TRT Australia is a specialised clinic that offers such evaluations, but prior to the initial consultation, the patient must first undergo blood work testing for total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, complete blood count, prostate-specific antigens (PSA), and liver function. These tests can be requested from a private practitioner through TRT Australia, but tests from GPs are also allowed; if results show that low testosterone is the cause of the patient’s symptoms, TRT Australia’s health providers will develop a personalised treatment plan for the patient.
As part of TRT Australia’s treatments in Wollongong, TRT medications are offered in the form of injections, creams, gels, and implantable testosterone pellets. Injections are the most common and affordable method, though the more expensive topical applications may be preferred by individuals who do not want to use needles. TRT Australia adds that patients may find pellets most convenient, as these are injected under the skin and will slowly release testosterone over a period of several months, requiring no daily applications; however, this method is the most expensive, and dosages cannot be adjusted as easily, so it is not usually recommended as the first line of treatment.
