What is Testosterone Optimisation?

Testosterone Optimisation is a specialised medical process focused on diagnosing hormonal imbalances and restoring hormone levels to a healthy, functional range. This service is primarily for men who may have been diagnosed with low testosterone but who are still planning to conceive or require delicate hormonal management that prioritises the preservation of fertility. It utilises evidence-based strategies to stimulate natural production rather than relying on external replacement.

Treatment Details

Our specialists focus on comprehensive diagnostics to ensure that therapy is medically justified and precisely tailored to the goal of maintaining normal testosterone level and sperm production concurrently.

The Kalix Approach

Testosterone optimisation is a complex area that requires precision and expert monitoring, particularly when fertility is a factor. The Kalix approach is defined by its multidisciplinary oversight with a strong focus on fertility preservation.

1. Fertility-First Protocol: We strictly avoid external Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) when conception is desired, as TRT typically suppresses sperm production. We instead use precise medications to safely upregulate the body’s natural hormonal axis.
2. Precision Diagnosis: We perform detailed hormonal profiling to identify the root cause of the deficiency, ensuring treatment targets the specific area needing support.
3. Collaborative Care: We work closely with our Reproductive Urology specialists (like Dr. Shannon Kim) and Endocrinologists (like Prof. Steven Boyages), ensuring seamless care.
