Men’s Health and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Stanmore

Men’s health concerns such as low energy, reduced libido, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood are increasingly recognised as potential signs of low testosterone (male hypogonadism). At Niva Medical Clinic, we offer a dedicated Men’s Health and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) service led by Dr Varun Dravid, providing thorough assessment, personalised treatment plans, and careful long-term monitoring.

Our goal is to help men optimise their health, vitality, and wellbeing through evidence-based, medically supervised care.

What Is Testosterone and Why Does It Matter?

Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for:

• Energy levels and motivation

• Muscle mass and strength

• Libido and sexual function

• Mood and cognitive performance

• Bone health

• Metabolic health and fat distribution

From around the age of 30, testosterone levels may gradually decline. However, some men develop clinically significant testosterone deficiency, which can impact physical, mental, and sexual health.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent fatigue

• Reduced libido or erectile dysfunction

• Difficulty building muscle or increased body fat

• Low mood or irritability

• Brain fog and poor concentration

• Poor sleep and reduced motivation

If these symptoms are present, a comprehensive medical assessment is essential before considering treatment.

Comprehensive Men’s Health Assessment

At Niva Medical Clinic, we take a thorough and responsible approach to TRT. Not every patient with symptoms will require testosterone therapy, which is why detailed assessment is essential.

Your men’s health consultation may include:

• Detailed medical history and symptom assessment

• Lifestyle and metabolic health review

• Physical examination where appropriate

• Comprehensive blood testing including hormone profile

• Cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment

This careful evaluation ensures that any underlying health conditions are identified and addressed, and that TRT is only considered when clinically appropriate.

Specialist TRT Care with Expert Training

Our men’s health service is led by Dr Varun Dravid, who has undertaken specialised training under renowned clinicians at Harley Street TRT, one of the leading centres for testosterone optimisation in the UK.

This advanced training enables Dr Dravid to provide:

• Evidence-based testosterone replacement therapy

• Individualised treatment protocols

• Safe prescribing and monitoring

• Management of complex hormonal cases

Where needed, complex patients can also benefit from ongoing guidance from the expert clinical team at Harley Street TRT, ensuring the highest standards of care.

Personalised Testosterone Replacement Therapy

When TRT is clinically indicated, treatment plans are tailored to each individual patient. Options may include:

• Testosterone injections

• Topical testosterone gels

• Ongoing hormone optimisation strategies

Treatment decisions are based on:

• Blood test results

• Symptom profile

• Medical history

• Patient preferences and lifestyle

Our aim is not simply to prescribe medication but to restore healthy hormonal balance safely and sustainably.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment used to restore testosterone levels in men with clinically confirmed testosterone deficiency. TRT may help improve symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, low mood, brain fog, and loss of muscle mass.

Common symptoms of low testosterone include:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Reduced libido or erectile difficulties

• Increased body fat or difficulty building muscle

• Low mood or irritability

• Brain fog or poor concentration

• Reduced motivation and stamina

However, symptoms alone are not enough for diagnosis, and blood tests are required to confirm testosterone deficiency.

How is low testosterone diagnosed?

Diagnosis requires a comprehensive medical consultation and specialised blood tests, usually including morning testosterone levels and other related hormones. At Niva Medical Clinic, we perform a detailed assessment to ensure TRT is appropriate and safe before starting treatment.

Is testosterone replacement therapy safe?

When prescribed appropriately and monitored by an experienced clinician, TRT is generally safe for men with confirmed testosterone deficiency. Patients require regular follow-up consultations and blood tests to ensure treatment remains effective and safe.

How often will I need monitoring on TRT?

Patients on TRT require regular blood tests and follow-up consultations to monitor hormone levels, treatment response, and key health markers. Monitoring allows safe dose adjustments and ensures optimal outcomes.

Do I need a referral to start TRT?

No referral is required. You can book a private men’s health consultation directly with Niva Medical Clinic for assessment, blood testing, and personalised treatment advice.

How much does TRT cost in the UK?

The cost of TRT varies depending on the type of treatment, blood tests required, and monitoring needed. At Niva Medical Clinic, patients first undergo a comprehensive men’s health consultation and hormone assessment before any treatment plan is recommended.

How quickly can I start TRT after testing?

Treatment may be considered once blood tests, symptoms, and medical history have been reviewed. If testosterone deficiency is confirmed and TRT is appropriate, treatment can usually begin soon after with a structured monitoring plan.

Can TRT help with fatigue, weight gain, and low libido?

If these symptoms are linked to low testosterone levels, TRT may help improve energy, libido, mood, muscle mass, and body composition. Treatment is usually combined with lifestyle optimisation to support long-term health.
