When discussing testosterone therapy, it's easy to focus on testosterone levels alone. However, treatment can also affect red blood cell production. In some patients, hematocrit can rise above a safe range, which is one reason blood count monitoring is important during therapy.
Follow-up care helps your provider assess both treatment response and potential risks, rather than focusing on a single hormone number.
