Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Hypogonadism can be congenital or acquired, and this determines whether you need a temporary course or lifelong support. Androgen deficiency affects more than sexual function: fertility, metabolism, body composition and overall quality of life also suffer. That is why the examination is not limited to a single test: the doctor assesses blood testosterone and the function of the hypothalamic–pituitary system, and rules out structural causes of the disease.
The mainstay of treatment remains hormone replacement therapy with testosterone in the form of gels, patches, injections and tablets. The form and dose are chosen according to the cause of the deficiency, your age and other conditions; there is no one-size-fits-all plan. The aim is the same: to bring the hormone back to normal and relieve the symptoms.
Hormone levels are checked regularly during the course, and the first full assessment of effectiveness is made 3–6 months after the start. When testosterone returns to normal, patients notice more energy, better sexual function, increased muscle mass and a more stable mood.
MediUkraine helps you see the right specialist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, who will assess your condition, order the necessary tests and advise where and how to continue treatment.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

The plan is chosen individually, based on your age, testosterone level, the cause of the hormonal changes and your general health. Treatment follows personalised protocols that balance effectiveness, safety and a lasting result.
Most often this means medication to normalise testosterone, gonadal function and general wellbeing. Medicines are chosen according to laboratory results, LH and FSH levels and any associated endocrine disorders.
A separate option is hormone replacement therapy, including testosterone injections. It stabilises hormone balance, restores libido, strength and concentration, evens out mood and helps maintain bone density and muscle mass.
Some patients are also offered physiotherapy, such as magnetic therapy, laser stimulation or PRP therapy, as a supplement to the main course; the doctor decides whether it is appropriate.
Which combination of methods suits you will become clear after tests for testosterone, LH and FSH: bring the results to your first consultation with the andrologist.
The period after therapy is prescribed determines whether the result will last and whether you return to your usual activity. The doctor tracks how your body responds to replacement therapy, adjusts the dose and compares changes in symptoms. At first, visits are monthly, later once every three months: this way side effects are spotted in time and the plan can be adjusted. Do not skip follow-up appointments even if you feel well, as some changes only show up in tests.
During this period, testosterone and other hormone tests are repeated, ultrasound scans are done and the prostate is assessed. Most patients notice improved energy, sexual function and general wellbeing within 3–6 months of starting treatment. Do not change the dose yourself or stop the course without consulting the doctor.
MediUkraine helps you find experienced endocrinologists and urologists who will monitor your recovery fully and continue to follow you after the main course ends.
The examination for suspected hypogonadism starts with the clinical part: the doctor asks about your symptoms and looks for signs of testosterone deficiency, such as low energy, sexual dysfunction and changes in the distribution of muscle and fat. The diagnosis is confirmed by a blood test for total and free serum testosterone. The sample is taken early in the morning on an empty stomach, as hormone levels fluctuate during the day.
Next, luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are measured: these distinguish primary from secondary hypogonadism. When indicated, a testicular ultrasound, an MRI of the pituitary gland or a CT scan is added so that a structural cause is not missed.
MediUkraine will help you find an andrologist or endocrinologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod for a comprehensive examination and an individual treatment plan.
When planning the examination, consider not only the doctor's qualifications but also comfort, how quickly you can get help and confidentiality. The full cycle is available, from the first consultation to monitoring of results, without a long hospital stay. This makes care consistent, effective and transparent in cost.
This programme costs considerably less in Ukraine than in most European countries, while the standard of care remains high. This is not about cutting corners on technology but about efficient organisation, clinic equipment and moderate administrative costs. Ukrainian andrologists work to international protocols, and the predictability of the result comes from monitoring hormone levels at every stage.
The examination and therapy follow international standards using current methods. The course can also be managed remotely, which is especially convenient for men with a busy schedule.
Key advantages of hypogonadism treatment in Ukraine:
• lower cost without compromising quality;
• transparent pricing with no hidden charges;
• equipment that ensures comfort, confidentiality and accurate results for every patient.
The safety of hypogonadism treatment rests on following international standards of diagnosis and treatment. Ukrainian specialists work to current examination protocols, which include monitoring testosterone, luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Your care is led by a specialist: a urologist, endocrinologist or andrologist with specialist training in hormonal disorders.
The partner clinic of MediUkraine in Uzhhorod has the equipment needed for accurate diagnosis and monitoring: laboratories for hormone testing and ultrasound of the gonads and prostate. Its specialists follow the recommendations of the European Association of Urology and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
MediUkraine gives you information about the clinic and the specialist before your first visit. The clinic respects confidentiality and chooses therapy according to your age, general health and other conditions.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
It is a sequence of steps: first the doctor looks for the cause of the hormonal imbalance and confirms low testosterone with tests, then chooses therapy that targets this cause. The aim is to relieve symptoms such as chronic fatigue or low libido and keep hormone levels normal.
The first step is a urologist consultation at the partner clinic, from USD 20. The doctor gives the examination and treatment plan and its cost after the examination, once the list of tests and the treatment plan are known. MediUkraine will help you get a cost estimate before you travel.
Reasons to book an appointment include chronic fatigue, reduced sex drive, sleep problems, mood swings, weight gain or difficulty concentrating. Each of these symptoms on its own is non-specific, but together they may point to testosterone deficiency.
Before the examination, avoid stress and excessive physical exertion, do not drink alcohol, and tell the doctor about all the medicines you take, especially hormonal ones.
Yes. The plan is chosen individually, taking into account your health, other conditions and hormone levels. Andrologists have adapted treatment approaches even for complex cases.
Recovery time depends on the type and cause of the disease. In primary hypogonadism (testicular failure), recovery on testosterone replacement therapy can take 3–6 months. Secondary hypogonadism (a problem in the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) usually responds to treatment faster, with noticeable improvement within 4–8 weeks. Even so, full normalisation of hormone levels and sexual function may take 6–12 months of regular treatment.
How quickly you adapt to replacement therapy is individual: your general health, the dose and following the doctor's instructions all matter. MediUkraine helps you find experienced endocrinologists and andrologists who develop personalised treatment plans with regular monitoring of hormone levels. Scheduled consultations and timely adjustment of therapy shorten the path to a lasting clinical result.
The answer depends on the type and cause of the disease. Primary hypogonadism caused by structural damage to the testicles usually cannot be fully reversed, but hormone replacement therapy brings sex hormones to a normal level and keeps symptoms under control. Secondary hypogonadism caused by dysfunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus has a better outlook: once the cause, such as a tumour, inflammation or obesity, is removed, hormone function sometimes recovers completely.
That is why treatment aims to restore normal sex hormone levels, stop the deficiency from progressing and improve quality of life. Through MediUkraine you can reach the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where a thorough differential diagnosis is carried out, the form of the disease is determined and an approach is chosen, aiming either for full recovery or for long-term supportive therapy.
