Hormone Therapy & Optimisation

Evidence-based hormone assessment and therapy for andropause, menopause, and hormone imbalance, led by Dr Derek Koh who holds ACAAM board certification and local accreditation in practical andrology.

Lifescan Medical & Wellness provides a structured hormone therapy and optimisation service addressing the full spectrum of age-related hormonal decline in both men and women. Dr Derek Koh leads this programme with dual credentials: ACAAM board certification in Anti-Ageing and Regenerative Medicine, and local accreditation in Practical Andrology through the Academy of Men's Health Singapore. For men experiencing andropause — characterised by declining testosterone, reduced energy, mood changes, muscle loss, and sexual dysfunction — Dr Koh conducts a thorough baseline assessment including serum total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, estradiol, prolactin, PSA, haematocrit, and full metabolic panel. Where hormone deficiency is confirmed, a personalised replacement or optimisation protocol is designed, which may include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in appropriate forms, lifestyle modification, and nutritional support. For women approaching or navigating menopause, the clinic's dedicated menopause screening programme (SGD 550) evaluates FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and thyroid function, identifying whether symptoms stem from hormonal transition, premature ovarian insufficiency, or other conditions. Where indicated, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options are discussed with a focus on risk-benefit balance and patient preference. The clinic also supports patients using the SMG Health+ digital platform for result tracking and teleconsultation. Ongoing monitoring and dose adjustment are central to the protocol, with blood tests repeated at defined intervals to ensure safety and efficacy. Both Novena and Orchard branches offer hormone consultations.
