If you have been searching for testosterone therapy in Lake Worth, FL, you have likely seen ads that skip straight to treatment. Good care works the other way around. This guide is focused only on men's testosterone care and walks through the three stages that matter most: the evaluation, the labs, and the follow-up that continues if testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) becomes part of a plan. For directions to our office and an overview of hormone care for men and women in both areas, see our Wellington and Lake Worth hormone care guide.
What testosterone therapy near Lake Worth involves
Testosterone therapy is a prescription treatment that a Licensed Provider may consider for men with confirmed low testosterone and symptoms that fit. The FDA explains on its testosterone information page that approved testosterone products are intended for men who have low testosterone levels together with an associated medical condition. That is why a lab result alone, or a list of symptoms alone, is not enough to start. Our testosterone therapy page outlines how BIOELITE approaches men's hormone care.
Step 1: The evaluation
A first visit, at our office or by telehealth video visit, covers the symptoms men commonly ask about, such as low energy, lower sex drive, mood changes, poorer sleep, or changes in erections, along with your health history, medicines, and goals. Many of these symptoms have other possible causes, including poor sleep, sleep apnea, weight changes, stress, or certain medicines, so a Licensed Provider looks at the whole picture. If erection changes are your main concern, our guide to ED treatment near Lake Worth covers that evaluation separately.
It helps to bring:
A list of your medicines and supplements
Any recent lab results you already have
Your plans for having children now or in the future
Any history of blood clots, heart disease, prostate concerns, or sleep problems
Step 2: Labs before TRT is discussed
The American Urological Association testosterone deficiency guideline says low testosterone should be diagnosed only after two total testosterone measurements taken on separate occasions, both in the early morning, and that it is a clinical diagnosis made when low levels are combined with symptoms or signs. Depending on your history, a Licensed Provider may order:
Total testosterone, drawn in the early morning on two separate days
Free testosterone and SHBG in some men; see our guide to free vs total testosterone lab numbers
LH and FSH, which help show whether the cause starts in the testes or in the brain signals that control them; see LH and FSH labs in a low testosterone evaluation
A blood count, including hematocrit, as a baseline
PSA, for men in the age and risk groups where a provider recommends it
Estradiol in some men, when symptoms or other results suggest it
Where Lake Worth patients get blood drawn
Blood draws are not done at our Boynton Beach office. When labs are ordered, you visit a draw center convenient for you, currently Quest, near home or work in Lake Worth, Lake Worth Beach, or anywhere in the county. Our guide to the testosterone blood test in Palm Beach County explains timing and what the results mean, and how to prepare for hormone bloodwork answers common fasting and scheduling questions.
Step 3: Reviewing results and options
Results are reviewed with you at an office or video visit. If low testosterone is confirmed and your symptoms fit, a Licensed Provider may talk through:
Testosterone replacement therapy in forms such as gels, creams, or injections, each with its own pros and cons
Addressing other contributors first, such as sleep, weight, or medicines
Repeat testing or watchful monitoring when results are borderline
Approaches that take fertility into account for men who may want children
A first visit is not a commitment to any treatment, and any prescription is decided only by a Licensed Provider, if clinically appropriate.
A note on fertility
Testosterone given from outside the body can lower the signals that drive sperm production. The AUA/ASRM guideline on infertility in men advises clinicians not to prescribe testosterone therapy for men interested in current or future fertility, and the Endocrine Society testosterone therapy guideline recommends against starting it in men planning fertility in the near term. Our article on male fertility testing and TRT explains what that evaluation can include.
Step 4: Follow-up and monitoring on TRT
Follow-up is where testosterone therapy is kept on track. The Endocrine Society guideline describes regular follow-up for men on testosterone therapy, with visits and repeat labs in the first months and then periodically after that. Your Licensed Provider sets the exact schedule. Monitoring commonly includes:
Testosterone levels, to see whether they are in the range your provider is aiming for
Hematocrit, because testosterone can raise the red blood cell count; read more about hematocrit monitoring on TRT
PSA and prostate health, based on guideline screening for your age and risk; see PSA monitoring on TRT
Estradiol, when symptoms or labs suggest it; see estradiol in men
Blood pressure, since the FDA 2025 testosterone labeling update added information about blood pressure increases to testosterone product labels
How you feel, including any side effects, so the plan can be adjusted or stopped
Possible side effects of testosterone replacement therapy
TRT has benefits and risks that should be weighed with a provider. Side effects that may occur include:
Acne or oily skin
A higher red blood cell count
Fluid retention or swelling
Breast tenderness or enlargement
Worsening of untreated sleep apnea
Lower sperm production
Higher blood pressure
Skin irritation with gels or creams, and the chance of passing testosterone to women or children through skin contact
Tell your provider promptly about leg pain or swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath, and seek emergency care for severe symptoms. Our guide to testosterone replacement therapy side effects goes into more detail.

Frequently asked questions about testosterone therapy in Lake Worth
Is there a BIOELITE office in Lake Worth?
No. Our office is in Boynton Beach at 1101 N. Congress Avenue, Suite 100, and it serves patients from Lake Worth, Lake Worth Beach, and the rest of Palm Beach County by appointment. Many visits can also happen by telehealth, where our Licensed Providers are licensed.
Do I need more than one blood test before testosterone therapy?
Usually, yes. The American Urological Association recommends two early-morning total testosterone measurements on separate days before low testosterone is diagnosed, along with symptoms or signs that fit. A Licensed Provider may also order other labs based on your history.
Where is blood drawn for Lake Worth patients?
Blood draws are not done at the Boynton Beach office. When labs are ordered, you go to a draw center convenient for you, currently Quest, and the results are reviewed with you at an office or video visit.
Can testosterone therapy affect fertility?
It can. Testosterone from outside the body can lower sperm production, and recovery after stopping can take time. If you may want children now or in the future, tell your provider at the first visit so other approaches can be discussed, if clinically appropriate.
How often are follow-up labs needed on TRT?
It varies by person. Follow-up visits and repeat labs are usually closer together in the first months of treatment and spaced out once results are stable. Your Licensed Provider sets the schedule, which often includes testosterone, hematocrit, and, when appropriate, PSA and estradiol.
Can follow-up visits happen by telehealth?
Often, yes. Telehealth video visits are available seven days a week, 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern, in states where our Licensed Providers are licensed. In-person visits at our Boynton Beach office are by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, with no walk-ins. Care depends on clinical eligibility and licensure.
