Frequently Asked Urologic Questions

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Glendale, CA

Are you feeling fatigued, experiencing low libido, or noticing changes in mood or muscle mass? These could be signs of low testosterone, also known as Low T. At our urology clinic in Glendale, CA, we offer safe, effective, and personalized Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to help men restore hormonal balance and improve quality of life.

What Is Low Testosterone?

Testosterone is a vital hormone that plays a key role in men’s health — impacting everything from energy levels and sex drive to mood, muscle strength, and bone density. Low testosterone (hypogonadism) occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough of this hormone. It’s a common condition, especially in men over 40, but it can affect younger men as well.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone:

  • Low sex drive

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Fatigue or lack of energy

  • Depression or mood swings

  • Loss of muscle mass or strength

  • Weight gain or increased body fat

  • Difficulty concentrating or brain fog

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a simple blood test can determine your testosterone levels.

Personalized TRT Treatment Options in Glendale

We offer a full range of testosterone replacement therapy options at our Glendale clinic, including:

  • Topical gels and creams

  • Testosterone injections (IM or subcutaneous)

  • Hormone pellets (testosterone implants)

  • Transdermal patches

  • Oral testosterone therapy (in select cases)

Your urologist will work with you to determine the best method based on your lifestyle, health goals, and lab results.

Why Choose a Urologist for TRT?

While many “men’s health” or online clinics offer testosterone therapy, urologists are the true hormone health experts. At our Glendale-based urology practice, we focus on safe and monitored treatment that optimizes your hormone levels without compromising long-term health, fertility, or cardiovascular function.

We also provide regular follow-up care, lab monitoring, and fertility-preserving options if needed.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore low testosterone levels to a healthy range. It’s used to alleviate symptoms of low testosterone, including low libido, fatigue, mood changes, and decreased muscle mass. At our Glendale urology clinic, we offer personalized TRT plans using safe, evidence-based methods.

How do I know if I have low testosterone?

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning when testosterone levels are highest. If you are experiencing symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue, or difficulty focusing, it’s important to get tested. We offer on-site testing and hormone evaluations in our Glendale office.

What are the treatment options for TRT?

At our Glendale practice, we offer several TRT delivery methods, including:

  • Injections (weekly or bi-weekly testosterone shots)

  • Topical gels or creams

  • Transdermal patches

  • Subcutaneous hormone pellets

  • Oral testosterone (in select patients)

Your urologist will help you choose the best option based on your lifestyle, lab results, and overall health.

Is TRT safe?

When managed by a qualified urologist, TRT is generally safe and effective. We monitor hormone levels, red blood cell counts, PSA (prostate-specific antigen), and other key health markers regularly to ensure treatment is both effective and safe. Our Glendale team follows American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines for hormone therapy.

Will testosterone therapy affect fertility?

Yes, TRT can reduce sperm production and impact fertility, especially in younger men. However, we offer fertility-preserving options such as clomiphene citrate, hCG therapy, or testosterone-sparing treatments for men who wish to maintain reproductive potential. Be sure to discuss your family plans with your urologist during your consultation.

How long does it take to see results from TRT?

Many patients start noticing improvements in energy, mood, and libido within 3–6 weeks of starting therapy. Muscle mass and body composition improvements typically follow over a few months. Results vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment used.

Do you accept insurance for testosterone therapy?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans for TRT evaluation and management. Some medications may be covered under your pharmacy benefits. Our Glendale office staff will help verify your coverage and discuss any out-of-pocket costs.

Why choose your clinic in Glendale for TRT?

Our board-certified urologists provide expert, personalized care in hormone health — not just symptom relief. We combine medical expertise, thorough monitoring, and a patient-first approach to ensure your safety and success. Unlike pop-up clinics or online services, we offer in-person follow-ups, lab monitoring, and long-term health planning.
