What we test for and why...

Urban TRT specialises in providing daily injectable micro dosing treatment plans for individuals seeking Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). We offer comprehensive services, including blood testing diagnostics and doctor consultations, to ensure personalised and effective treatment.

TRT is a medical treatment designed to restore testosterone levels in individuals experiencing low testosterone levels (hypogonadism). It involves the administration of exogenous testosterone to supplement the body's natural production.

Urban TRT stands out for its focus on daily injectable micro dosing treatment plans, which offer precise dosing and consistent hormone levels for optimal results. Additionally, our comprehensive approach includes thorough blood testing diagnostics and doctor consultations to tailor treatment to each individual's needs all included in a flat monthly fee.

TRT is typically recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, low libido, weight gain, and mood swings. However, only a qualified doctor can determine if TRT is suitable based on a thorough evaluation of symptoms and laboratory tests.

When administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, TRT is generally safe and effective. However, like any medical treatment, TRT carries potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed during the consultation process.

Getting started with Urban TRT is easy. Simply contact us to schedule a blood test & if then elligible for treatment, a consultation with one of our experienced doctors. During the consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine the best course of action for you.

Our team of healthcare professionals will evaluate your condition and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs. The medication and supplies are sent directly to your home address, we've ensured the whole process is as convenient for you as possible.

Results from TRT can vary depending on individual factors such as age, health status, and treatment protocol. Some individuals may experience improvements in symptoms within weeks, while others may require several months to notice significant changes. Our healthcare providers will monitor your progress closely and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results.

Urban TRT accepts various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, electronic funds transfer (EFT) and direct debit. We also offer flexible financing options to make treatment more accessible for our patients.

Urban TRT offers comprehensive blood testing services to assess hormone levels and overall health. Our testing options include: In-Clinic Venous Sample: Conveniently visit our clinic for a venous blood sample collection. Priced at £79.99, this option ensures accurate and reliable results. At-Home Venous Sample: Enjoy the convenience of at-home blood sample collection with our at-home venous sample kit. Priced at £79.99, plus a £65 service fee, this option allows you to collect a venous sample in the comfort of your own home and send it back to us for analysis. Capillary Blood Test Kit: Our capillary blood test kit offers a simple and minimally invasive way to collect a blood sample using a finger prick. This option is convenient for individuals who prefer to collect their own samples at home.

The right blood testing option for you depends on your preferences and convenience. If you prefer a professional venous sample collection which we reccomend, our in-clinic option is ideal. For added convenience and flexibility, our at-home venous sample allows you to collect a sample at your own convenience. If you prefer a simple and quick sampling method, our capillary blood test kit may be the best choice for you. We do advise caution with the capillary test, due to the nature of the test it is more prone to clotted results. Regardless of the test results, the cost's are incurred for the blood test analysis and as a result, once a test sample is sent for analysis - there will be no refund available.

Total Testosterone: Measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood, providing insight into overall testosterone levels. Free Testosterone: Measures the amount of testosterone that is not bound to proteins in the blood, representing the biologically active form of testosterone. SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): Binds to testosterone and regulates its bioavailability in the body. Elevated SHBG levels can reduce free testosterone levels. Albumin: Another protein that binds to testosterone, though less strongly than SHBG. Albumin-bound testosterone represents a fraction of total testosterone available for use. Oestradiol (Estrogen): Measures estrogen levels, which can impact testosterone metabolism and contribute to symptoms of hormonal imbalance. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): Screens for prostate health and helps monitor for potential prostate issues, as testosterone therapy may affect PSA levels. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Regulate testosterone production in the testes. LH stimulates testosterone production, while FSH is involved in sperm production. Prolactin: Regulates reproductive function and can influence testosterone levels. Elevated prolactin levels may indicate a hormonal imbalance. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and Free T4: Assess thyroid function, which can impact metabolism and overall health, potentially affecting testosterone levels. Full Blood Count: Evaluates red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet count, providing insights into overall health and potential blood-related issues. Lipids (Cholesterol and Triglycerides): Measures lipid levels, which are important for cardiovascular health and may be affected by testosterone therapy.

Ordering a blood test kit from Urban TRT is simple. Just visit our blood testing page or contact our team to place your order.

Urban TRT utilises state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and follows strict quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable blood test results. Our team of experienced professionals carefully analyses each sample to provide you with the most accurate insights into your hormone levels and overall health.

The turnaround time for blood test results may vary depending on the testing option chosen and the laboratory's processing time. Typically, results are available within 48 hours to a few days after the sample is received by the laboratory. Our team will notify you as soon as your results are ready and discuss them with you during your consultation.

Urban TRT primarily utilises Testosterone Cypionate as the main tool for TRT. Testosterone Cypionate is a long-acting injectable form of testosterone that provides stable hormone levels over an extended period, typically administered daily as part of a micro-dosing treatment protocol.

In addition to Testosterone Cypionate, Urban TRT may prescribe adjunct medications to optimise TRT outcomes. These may include: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG): Used to prevent testicular shrinkage and maintain fertility by mimicking the action of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the body. Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG): May be prescribed for individuals with secondary hypogonadism to stimulate the production of both testosterone and sperm. Aromatase Inhibitors: Used to prevent the conversion of excess testosterone into estrogen, helping to maintain hormonal balance and prevent estrogen-related side effects.

Urban TRT provides all necessary supplies for administering injections, including: BD Micro-Fine 0.3ml Insulin Syringes: These high-quality insulin syringes are ideal for administering small, precise doses of medication subcutaneously, ensuring comfort and accuracy during injections. Alcohol Swabs: Provided for disinfecting the injection site to minimize the risk of infection. Sharps Container: Provided for safe disposal of used syringes and needles, ensuring proper disposal and minimizing the risk of needlestick injuries.

Yes, injections are administered subcutaneously (under the skin) using insulin syringes provided by Urban TRT. Subcutaneous injections offer a convenient and relatively painless alternative to intramuscular injections and may be preferred by many individuals.

We'll guide you through everything when the time comes. Generally, this involves selecting an appropriate injection site (such as the abdomen or thigh), disinfecting the skin with an alcohol swab, pinching the skin to create a fold, inserting the needle at a 45-degree angle, injecting the medication slowly, and then removing the needle and applying pressure to the injection site if necessary.
