Is TRT Right For Me? | Frequently Asked Questions
Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) safe? Can it cause cancer?
How long will it take to start seeing results from TRT?
Many patients start feeling better within three days. Body composition changes of will transform over several months as your testosterone (T) level is optimally tuned. Dr. VanAntwerp monitors and adjusts medications to optimize dosage of testosterone and supporting medications (Aromatase Inhibitors, hCG, etc).
Will testosterone replacement help reverse enlarged male breasts?
Male breast enlargement (gynecomastia) can be a sign of testosterone/estrogen imbalance. Therapy does not reverse the enlargement, but often Laser Assisted Liposuction can correct it very nicely.

I may need testosterone which is considered an anabolic steroid; does that mean that I’m going to get “Roid Rage?”
Truth be told, I was an anabolic steroid abusing gym rat. I stopped cycling steroids because I want to be healthy. My metabolism is a wreck and I’m displaying Low T symptoms. Can you help me?
Does TRT use HGH? Is it even safe?
There are very limited FDA approved uses for HGH and it is not without risks. People buying it online have no idea what they are taking. Natural Human Growth Hormone is produced by your body and is an important substance for your wellbeing. Dr. VanAntwerp often prescribes growth hormone-releasing hormones and peptides to maximize your natural production of growth hormone.
This allows our patients to realize the benefits of growth hormone therapy without the risks associated with exogenous growth hormone injection. Patients can expect muscle growth and fat reduction along with a much improved sense of wellbeing.
