Can any adult male with low or low-normal testosterone levels get TRT?
At this time, men who have either prostate or breast cancer are deferred from undergoing TRT. We are also careful to regularly monitor PSA levels, as well as manually checking the prostate with a Digital Rectal Exam. Along the way, we monitor blood levels, as a small portion of TRT patients will have their blood become too “thick”, a condition known as polycythemia. This can happen because testosterone supplementation stimulates the production of red blood cells, which is why it is sometimes prescribed to treat anemia.
