Q: What are the risks of bioidentical testosterone?

A: While generally well tolerated, bioidentical testosterone therapy may carry risks such as increased red blood cell count, acne, fluid retention, or potential effects on prostate health. Regular monitoring helps manage these risks safely.

Q: What is the difference between bioidentical hormones and TRT?

Traditional TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) may use synthetic hormones or standardized formulations. Both aim to restore testosterone, but bioidenticals are considered more natural.
