question from a user
I had six stents installed in my heart 10 yrs ago, why won't any trt clinics help me? I'm 65m battling low testosterone for 30yrs.
AlphaMD's Answer
The main reason is liability & the kind of country we are with medicine. A small amount of people produce too many RBC on Testosterone therapy or experience initial upswings in BP or RHR. It's not very common at all in therapeutic TRT & is something that can be handled with awareness & testing. However the fact that you may require additional care or there's a minor chance you could cause them trouble if something goes wrong is their main motivation to avoid & and protect themselves.
Based on what you've said we could likely work with you as an example, but I'd bet the above reasons are why. More work + more liability + same payout = avoid.
