| Q: Will hormone replacement cause my natural hormone production to decline? |
The doctor will prescribe a medication to stimulate your testicles while you take testosterone. This will minimize the possibility of a decline in your natural hormone production. When testosterone is introduced into the body from the outside, the glands producing testosterone senses that the body has an adequate supply of the hormone and does not need to work as hard and might become “lazy”. You have the choice of two medications as a stimulant – we will help you choose.
