MensHealthTRT is available through Letter Box Pharmacy
Letter Box Pharmacy offers the MensHealthTRT assessment pathway from its GPhC-registered pharmacy at 4 Brick Lane, London E1 6RF. You can book the free first telephone consultation on our dedicated TRT service page without leaving the Letter Box Pharmacy website.
If the initial conversation suggests that testing is a sensible next step, the team arranges an in-person appointment at Brick Lane. The service does not use a home-test or postal-testing pathway, and neither a consultation nor a blood test guarantees that testosterone will be prescribed.

Do symptoms tell you that testosterone is low?
No single symptom proves testosterone deficiency. Tiredness, poor concentration, lower mood, reduced libido, erectile difficulties, sleep disturbance, lower strength and changes in body composition can also be linked to stress, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, alcohol, medicines and other physical health conditions.
The NHS describes late-onset hypogonadism as an uncommon, specific medical condition rather than a normal or sudden 'male menopause'. Diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and blood tests, not a symptom score alone.
Guidance: NHS
What happens in the first TRT consultation?
The first conversation is used to understand what has changed and whether a testosterone assessment is a sensible next step. Expect questions about energy, sleep, mood, libido and sexual function, exercise and body composition, as well as when the symptoms began and how much they affect daily life.
The clinician also needs the wider picture: medical conditions, mental health, current medicines and supplements, alcohol and smoking, previous test results, prostate or urinary symptoms, cardiovascular history, sleep apnoea risk and plans for future fertility.
- Prepare a current medicines and supplements list.
- Bring any recent blood-test reports rather than quoting one number from memory.
- Mention fertility plans before any treatment discussion.
- Explain symptoms honestly, including sleep, mood and sexual health.
Why are blood tests necessary?
Blood testing helps determine whether symptoms are accompanied by biochemical evidence of testosterone deficiency and whether another health issue may need attention. The exact tests and timing depend on the person and the clinical pathway.
A clinician may need confirmatory results or additional tests before reaching a conclusion. One result should not be interpreted in isolation: timing, illness, medicines, laboratory ranges and the wider clinical context can all matter.
Guidance: NHS, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust
Does an assessment always lead to TRT?
No. If the evidence does not support testosterone deficiency, the safest plan may be to investigate sleep, mood, metabolic health, medicines or another cause. If deficiency is confirmed, the clinician should discuss expected benefits, uncertainties, possible adverse effects, fertility implications and alternative options before shared decision-making.
TRT can reduce sperm production and may be unsuitable in some circumstances. That is why fertility intentions and relevant prostate, blood, heart and sleep-related history need to be discussed before treatment is considered.

What does ongoing monitoring involve?
Treatment is not a one-off prescription. Follow-up checks whether symptoms are improving, reviews side effects and confirms that treatment remains appropriate. Monitoring normally includes planned blood tests and clinical review; the exact schedule and measurements are personalised by the prescriber.
Contact the clinical team between reviews if you develop concerning symptoms or are unsure how to use treatment. Do not change the dose or use testosterone obtained from an unregulated source.
