Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I find out if I might benefit from HRT Treatment?

A: Fill in the hormonal checklist to evaluate your symptoms. If you have a number of the symptoms shown to a moderate degree, then this would indicate that it is worth investigating your hormonal status. The best way to have this properly checked is to make an appointment to see a doctor experienced in the application of HRT for men at the Well Men Centre in Perth or at one of our special one day clinics that are arranged from time to time in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. 

Q: Do I need a letter of referral from my doctor?

 

A: No. Many GPs are beginning to take an

interest in HRT for men and your own doctor

may well be very supportive of your

participation in the HRT program, as it is

new to Australia and not part of traditional

doctor training. Other GPs can be sceptical.

 A growing number of GPs are now referring

 their patients to the Centres.

Please Note: You do NOT need to get a

letter of referral from your doctor to make

an appointment.

Q: Is the treatment safe?

 

A: HRT is a powerful medication and should

only be prescribed in the context of a high

calibre health program. HRT does not cause

the onset of prostate cancer but it should not

be given to men with existing prostate cancer.

Provided it is administered with expertise,

HRT is beneficial for the heart and cardiovascular

system and general well being. There are no

known serious side effects.

Q: What will it Cost?

A: Go to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT for details of appointments and costs.
