  • More on TRT

    In most countries, it is illegal to purchase T (testosterone) without a prescription as T sold outside of legal pharmacies is unregulated.

    Experts are still trying to fully understand the risks and side effects of TRT.

    According to , many existing studies have limitations, such as being small in size or using larger-than-usual doses of T.

    As a result, there’s still some debate over the benefits and risks linked to TRT – or example, it’s been said to both increase and decrease the risk of certain types of cancer.

  • Side effects of TRT

     states that potential side effects include:

    • Chest pain
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Speech difficulties
    • Increased risk of heart attack or stroke
    • Sleep apnoea
    • Swelling in the hands or legs
    • Increased risk of blood clots
    • Low sperm count
  • How TRT can be taken

    People can take TRT orally, via intramuscular injections and implants or transdermal patches, mouth patches, and topical creams or gels.

    Other options include intranasal gels or pellets. 

    Research suggests that although the therapy can cause benefits – it also includes some serious side effects.

  • Testosterone Replacement Therapy, explained

    TRT is usually prescribed to patients suffering with low testosterone levels, which can occur with age or as a result of a medical condition, according to .

    It is the replacement of a man’s natural testosterone production when it is lower than it should be and causing symptoms of low testosterone.

    But TRT is becoming increasingly popular for non-medical uses such as enhancing sexual performance, achieving higher energy levels, losing weight, and building muscle mass for bodybuilding.
