question from a user
With TRT, are you aiming for specific testosterone range and/or e2 ratio? how do you know if someone should increase or decrease the dosage?
AlphaMD's Answer
Our goal is to relieve the symptoms of low testosterone. Whatever number that ends up being is our target, whether it is 500 or 1000. TRT is a very subjective field of medicine, where it is best to treat the patient, not the number.
The general approach would be to start TRT at a reasonable dose and slowly increase until all symptoms are resolved and you feel good. If you reach a dose where you start to get side effects, then you have to consider whether lowering the dose makes sense.
