@lamclinic: TRT for men: your questions, answered straight. 👇 A doctor's rapid-fire take on the stuff men actually wonder about: Does TRT cause heart attacks? No — testosterone doesn't cause heart attacks. It can thicken your blood, though, which is exactly why we check a CBC and hemoglobin regularly. Can men with high cholesterol do TRT? Yes — every day. Sometimes low testosterone is part of what's driving the high cholesterol in the first place, since cholesterol is a building block your body uses to make testosterone. With high blood pressure? Yes — but only with supervision and your BP controlled first, since testosterone raises red blood cell count and affects circulation. Do I still need to lift? Yes. Building muscle is one of the main points — and more muscle means better insulin sensitivity and metabolism. TRT isn't a shortcut around the work. Does TRT cause infertility? It can. Injected testosterone can lower sperm count and shrink the testes. If having kids is on your radar, know this before you start and talk options with your provider. Can I do TRT without lab monitoring? No — and this is the big one. Plenty of people do, and it's genuinely unsafe. Done right, monitored by a provider, most men have few issues. The theme? TRT can be safe and genuinely life-changing — when it's monitored. The danger isn't testosterone. It's doing it blind. If you're in Orange County and wondering whether TRT is right for you, come see us at Lam Clinic. 💛
