At Omniya Clinic, we specialise in Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in the UK, helping men restore hormonal balance and reclaim their vitality. Our personalised TRT programs are designed to boost energy, improve libido and enhance physical performance.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of low testosterone (Low T), TRT could be the solution you need to feel like yourself again.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment designed to increase testosterone levels in men experiencing testosterone deficiency. Low testosterone (also known as hypogonadism) can cause fatigue, low libido, mood swings and difficulty maintaining muscle mass. At Omniya Clinic in the UK, our TRT programs help manage symptoms, and by getting testosterone levels back to normal TRT can help you feel more energetic, improve your mood and physical health.
For men, declining testosterone levels can lead to a range of health issues, including low energy, fatigue, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, hair loss, and sexual dysfunction. This condition is often referred to as andropause, or male menopause, with testosterone levels reported to decline 1-2% per annum, on average.
Men across the UK trust Omniya Clinic for safe and effective Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Our patient-focused approach ensures you receive personalised care tailored to your specific needs to help restore your energy, improve your physical health, and enhance your quality of life.
How do I know if I have low testosterone? Low testosterone can present in various ways. Men experiencing some or all of the following symptoms may benefit from TRT:
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is advised to have your testosterone levels checked. This is the only definitive way to confirm low testosterone levels – through blood tests.
These tests typically include, but are not limited to, Testosterone (primary male sex hormone), Free Testosterone, DHEA Sulphate, FSH, Full Blood Count, SHBG, Vitamin D, and PSA. The tests will vary, depending on your consultation, age, and symptoms.
The main aim of testosterone replacement therapy is to restore healthy testosterone levels, helping to reverse the effects of low testosterone, and provide the following benefits:
TRT is for men diagnosed with low testosterone, confirmed through blood tests and consultation. If you have any of the following symptoms TRT might be for you:

This initial step ensures that the clinic gains a full understanding of your medical background, symptoms and hormone levels, so we can make informed decisions about whether TRT is appropriate.
Your journey begins with a thorough medical evaluation, including:
Based on the assessment and testing, your doctor will develop a tailored treatment plan. This customisation allows patients to choose the method that best suits their lifestyle (injections, gels, or patches) and ensures that the dosage is adjusted to meet individual needs for maximum effectiveness.
Regular check-ups, including blood tests and health evaluations, are essential to maintain safe and effective treatment. This ensures that testosterone levels stay within the desired range and helps detect any potential side effects early.
The clinic goes beyond just administering the treatment by providing ongoing education and lifestyle advice, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their health and optimise the benefits of TRT through complementary lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
Through this structured, personalised approach, Omniya Clinic ensures that you receive a thorough, supportive TRT experience focused on your health, well-being, and long-term outcomes.
After starting testosterone replacement therapy, many of our patients experience not only a renewed sex drive, energy and stamina but also a wide range of other benefits. They often feel younger, stronger, happier and less irritable. TRT has been known to alleviate muscle aches, improve memory and boost overall energy and confidence.
“Since starting TRT, I feel like a new man, every day feels like Summer. My energy levels have soared, I’m building muscle more easily and my mood has improved significantly. It’s been a complete game-changer.” — Paul
“Testosterone replacement therapy has restored my vitality. I’m more focused, my workouts are more effective and I’ve regained a sense of confidence. I hadn’t realised how much low testosterone was affecting me until now.” — David
The condition associated with low testosterone levels is referred to by various terms, each highlighting different aspects of the issue.
Andropause or male menopause describes the natural decline in testosterone levels that men experience as they age, often resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, reduced muscle mass, mood changes and decreased libido. The male hormone testosterone plays a critical role in these bodily functions, and its deficiency can lead to further issues. Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TDS), a more clinical term, emphasizes the underlying hormonal imbalance causing these symptoms. Low T or male hypogonadism are also used to describe insufficient testosterone production which can lead to similar effects and is often associated with age-related health issues.
While the terms differ slightly, they all refer to the same core condition. At Omniya, we focus on providing accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments to help men regain their vitality and well-being.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, don’t wait to take action. At Omniya Clinic, our experienced team can help you restore your vitality and quality of life with personalised TRT. Book a consultation today to learn more about how we can support your health journey.
Andropause, derived from the Greek ‘andras’ (man) and ‘pause’ (cessation), occurs when testosterone levels start to decline. It is associated with symptoms such as mood changes, low energy, anxiety, decreased sexual satisfaction, weight gain, depression and erectile dysfunction.
Andropause is often referred to as the male menopause. Both have declining hormone levels (oestrogen and progesterone for menopause and testosterone for men) and both have life changing symptoms but men experience a gradual decline over a longer period than women.
Low testosterone is a symptom of male hypogonadism: a condition where the testes don’t produce enough testosterone. It affects almost 40% of men 40 and over.
The symptoms of low testosterone can vary from person to person but can include:
As with most medication, side effects can occur with hormone replacement therapy, and you should be aware of these before you start you treatment.
Not everyone will experience these side effects, and your doctor will discuss these with you during your consultation.
Some of the minor potential side effects of TRT include increased urination, acne, and fluid retention. Some of the more severe, yet rare, potential side effects include increased number of red blood cells, infertility, decreased sperm count, increased cholesterol levels, worsening of existing sleep apnea, decreased testicle size, and breast enlargement.
Get in touch with us at the earliest opportunity if you experience any of these symptoms.
No, TRT comes in many forms. Some of the different methods do include intramuscular injections (e.g. Nebido and Sustanon) but some don’t require any at all. Your doctor will discuss the different options available and what’s best for you.
Aside from (intramuscular) injections, other options include testosterone patches (transdermal), testosterone (topical) gels, lozenges, tablets, capsules and subcutaneous injections.
TRT is a medical treatment and must only be managed by a suitably qualified doctor.
It is illegal to sell medication without a license and without a valid prescription. Even if easily available, it is dangerous to use without the medical supervision required.
TRT is an elective treatment that should only be considered if you are suffering from symptoms of low testosterone.
Your doctor will note your symptoms and assess these in conjunction with blood test results to ensure that you are suffering from low testosterone.
There may be alternative ways to improve your testosterone levels, and these will be discussed with you in more detail during your consultation. Improvements can be made by focusing on your diet, sleep, exercise and natural supplements.
Each individual will have a bespoke plan, based on their symptoms and the blood tests. Your testosterone therapy treatment will be specifically created for you, with costs discussed at your consultation by Dr Sohere Roked. You will be able to see the full plan designed for you.
If you are interested in TRT, please call Omniya Clinic London on 020 7584 4777 to schedule an initial consultation with Dr Roked. You will be assessed, and a plan developed to help you regain control of your life.
Yes, testosterone boosters can help to optimise and balance your hormones, restoring energy levels for many patients. However, this must be performed by a suitably qualified and trained doctor, who is able to monitor, assess and optimise your hormonal imbalances in order to improve the quality of your life. Dr Sohere Roked has received extensive training in Europe and the USA for anti-ageing medicine and is one of the leaders in the industry in the UK.
There are a number of factors at play when assessing the length of time it takes to feel the effects and benefits of TRT. These factors include your own lifestyle, your baseline (current) hormone levels when you start the treatment and the type of medication you are prescribed. Medication can include Nebido, Sustanon, Testogel, Tostran, Pregnyl/Gonasi (HCG), and each take varying times to take effect.
We typically see results experienced within 3-8 weeks, although this does vary from patient to patient. Your lifestyle will contribute to this, which your doctor will discuss with you.
In order to feel optimum benefits from TRT, it is recommended that you have a balanced and healthy lifestyle, which is supplemented with any medication that may be prescribed or administered. In general, you ought to benefit from a better sex life, with improved sleep, clarity and with more energy if you maintain consistency in the treatment plan.

The male hormone specialists at Omniya Clinic have vast experience in developing treatment plans for TRT patients in the UK. We are one of the few TRT clinics in the UK, with a true focus and expertise on men’s health.
We provide confidential solutions for men struggling with symptoms of low T, ensuring our patients receive adequate time to fully discuss their health problems and help them to find the right treatment solution.
Our diagnoses are based on a comprehensive blood test including a full hormone panel. We review their symptoms, medical history and carry out a physical examination where necessary.
If treatment is started, we provide careful and regular monitoring to enable us to optimise and monitor the treatment safely.
Men start to experience decline in testosterone levels after 40 but TRT can be considered for younger men with diagnosed hypogonadism.
Men start to feel improvements in energy and mood within a few weeks. Body composition changes such as increased muscle mass take longer, usually within 3 to 6 months.
Stopping TRT abruptly can bring back low testosterone symptoms. If you want to stop we recommend you do so gradually and under medical supervision.
Yes TRT is available on the NHS for men with low testosterone. However, Omniya offer more tailored and quicker services with more flexibility in treatment options.
During your consultation, we will advise you on the best treatments and products to use at home.
