If someone is severely deficient, then yes.
However, a lot of TRT clinics will essentially give anyone who walks in the door a prescription. Going from low-normal to normal or even high-normal levels via TRT won’t be anywhere near as life changing as going from being severely deficient (like you) to normal levels.
It also comes with a lifelong commitment to TRT.
If anyone is not extremely deficient, they should be exhausting normal methods to improve testosterone levels (diet, exercise, reducing alcohol consumption, and so on) before trying to replace their natural production for the rest of their lives. Obviously it’s a different story for people who have absolutely crushed testosterone levels for other reasons.
