they will put you on TRT for life, along with an AI, hcg, bp meds, and everything else they can because that is what they are taught in med school, to over prescribe drugs.
they don't have time to work with you 1 on 1 over the course of a year to heal your sick HPTA. that isn't profitable for them. even the most honest one who starts out doing that will quickly find out that they can't pay back their 200K in school loans doing that, and they will also rapidly lose clients. it isn't just on the doctor either, the patients want results fast and who wants to have low T for a year hoping their shit comes back?
this is why i tell guys not to get yourself into these messes in the first place!
In Australia, doctors (endo's) will only prescribe TRT as an absolute last resort... you get put on serm treatment for months and months. The reference range here is 6 - 30 nmol/L. You could intially have a level of 5, so you will take serms for 6 months. If your levels are all of a sudden 7 or 8, they tell you that your levels are now normal and they fuck you off... big problem with that is that they don't take into account your age, so an 18 year old is considered the same as a 70 year old. Also they test you while serms are STILL in your system, so your levels are actually falsely elevated.
I know doctors do like over medicating in general. But i find the US and most other countries have it right when it comes to TRT.
