Testosterone Therapy – Risks & Side Effects
By initiating testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), you acknowledge that while treatment can improve symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, poor concentration, and muscle loss, it also carries potential risks and side effects.
These may include:
Common Side Effects:
Acne or oily skin
Mood changes or increased irritability
Sleep disturbances or increased energy
Breast tenderness or swelling (gynecomastia)
Injection site discomfort
Less Common / Serious Risks:
Elevated red blood cell count (hematocrit), which may increase risk of clotting
Decreased sperm production and fertility
Fluid retention, swelling in the ankles or feet
Prostate changes, including elevated PSA
Worsening of undiagnosed sleep apnea
Ongoing labs every 2 months are mandatory to monitor these effects and guide appropriate dose adjustments. Refills will not be issued without updated labs and follow-up.
