Questions to Ask Before Starting TRT
Before starting TRT, ask the clinic which lab markers they test, how often they monitor hormones and blood counts, which delivery methods they offer, how they handle fertility, and what the total monthly cost includes.
Source: Best Med Spas Report, June 2026TRT is a long-term medical therapy. The quality of the monitoring matters as much as the prescription itself.
What labs do you run, and how often?
A good clinic confirms low testosterone with labs before treatment and monitors hormones and blood counts on an ongoing basis.
Which delivery methods do you offer?
Injections, pellets, gels and oral or Enclomiphene options each have tradeoffs. More options means a better fit.
How do you handle fertility?
Standard TRT can affect fertility; ask about options like Enclomiphene if that matters to you.
