We maintain strict blood testing and monitoring of men on TRT. 

One possible program for monitoring could be:

To start:

-Analyze 2, morning testosterone level

-Survey to look for signs/symptoms of low T:  for example low libido, lack of energy and motivation, inability to obtain lean muscle mass, poor concentration and focus

-Check a baseline CBC (complete blood count) with diff and Platelets, Estradiol, Liver function tests, baseline testosterone

-Prolactin

-LH, FSH (pituitary hormones)

Every 3 months thereafter:

-check in about symptoms and possible side effects

-CBC with diff and platelets

-free/total testosterone
