    HRT or TRT through the VA?

    My father goes to the VA and since being on here and researching I think he would do great on RT. Hes 64 and in good shape.

    Does anyone have experience with the VA and HRT or TRT

    Thank you!

    Eric

    I don't think I've seen anyone post here that goes through the VA. Maybe a few will see this and chime in.

    I might be underestimating the VA, but I'm a little concerned how much they're up to snuff on HRT and treatments associated with it. Surprisingly, there's so many PCP's that don't have a clue about this stuff. You might encourage him to take a look at this forum and get familiar with what other guys are doing for a TRT regiment. It would also give him the chance to run some ideas up the flagpole when he starts discussing his situation with his doctor.
