Follow Up Consultation
It is common for slight adjustments to be needed, to ensure you are getting the most out of your treatment, therefore a three month review is beneficial.
We recommend you book a three month follow up appointment to ensure you get the most benefit from your treatment. If you are prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), it can take several weeks to feel the full effects. This review enables you to discuss any queries you might have and your treatment plan to be optimised.
If testosterone therapy was discussed at your initial consultation, a blood test is usually needed before it can be prescribed, to make sure it’s appropriate for you. A blood test will be arranged (if you haven’t already had one) to find out your baseline testosterone level. You will then be contacted by email with the result and if appropriate a prescription can be organised. In some circumstances, you may be asked to book another appointment to discuss the results.
If you are prescribed testosterone, you will need a follow-up consultation after 3 months to establish if it’s working, check for any side effects, and determine if the treatment should be continued. This review appointment will require a blood test to ensure your testosterone does not exceed a female level. If testosterone treatment is continued, a blood test is required at least annually along with an annual follow up appointment.
Follow up consultation fee: £150
