Why do men decide to stop TRT?

Men decide to stop TRT for practical and personal reasons. The most common are family plans, cost, travel and simply wanting a change.

Plans to start or grow a family.
A change in drug coverage or budget.
Long travel or a move.
Wanting to see how life feels off TRT.
A shift in personal goals or priorities.

All of these are normal. TRT is a choice, and choices can be reviewed.

What does it mean to stop TRT with a plan?

To stop TRT with a plan means making the change together with your clinician instead of on your own. A planned change keeps your care organized from start to finish.

Your clinician walks through what coming off TRT looks like for you, and what follow-up is included, at a complimentary consult. Questions like "TRT recovery time" or how to "restart natural testosterone" are answered for your situation, not in general terms.

Can I stop TRT if I started somewhere else?

Yes, MAMBA can help men who started TRT at another clinic and now want to stop TRT or review their plan. Bring your records, and the team takes it from there.

A copy of your recent bloodwork and your current prescription label helps the clinician see the full picture. You can meet by video from anywhere in Canada, or in person in Oshawa or Kitchener.
