AREAS OF HORMONE CAREFour pathways. Different diagnoses. Different treatments.
The right pathway depends on symptoms, medical history, appropriate laboratory testing and clinician review. An assessment does not guarantee a prescription.
01 · MENMen's Hormone Health
A broader evaluation of hormone-related concerns in men. This may include symptoms potentially associated with testosterone deficiency, medication and health-history review, fertility goals and investigation of underlying causes.
Think of this as the umbrella: TRT can be one treatment within men's hormone care, but men's hormone care is not automatically TRT.
02 · TESTOSTERONETRT — Testosterone Replacement Therapy
TRT is prescription testosterone therapy considered for appropriately diagnosed testosterone deficiency. Treatment requires clinical evaluation and appropriate testing, with follow-up and safety monitoring when prescribed.
TRT is a treatment: it is not itself the diagnosis, and it is not intended as a general anti-aging or performance program.
03 · WOMENWomen's Hormone Therapy
A separate pathway focused on hormone-related symptoms in women, particularly perimenopause and menopause. A clinician can evaluate symptoms, health history and whether menopausal hormone therapy or another approach may be appropriate.
Different from TRT: women's menopausal hormone therapy may involve estrogen and, depending on the patient, progestogen or other clinically appropriate therapy.
04 · GROWTH HORMONEAdult Growth Hormone Care
Evaluation for suspected adult growth hormone deficiency is a specialized endocrine pathway. Diagnosis generally requires more than symptoms alone and may require endocrine testing before growth hormone treatment is considered.
Different hormone, different indication: growth hormone therapy is not TRT and should not be presented as routine anti-aging treatment.
