Anyone here genuinely regret starting TRT?

What are the risks of testosterone therapy for normal aging?
Testosterone therapy has various risks. For example, testosterone therapy may:

  • Contribute to sleep apnea — a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts
  • Cause acne or other skin reactions
  • Stimulate noncancerous growth of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and growth of existing prostate cancer
  • Enlarge breasts
  • Limit sperm production or cause testicle shrinkage
  • Increase the risk of a blood clot forming in a deep vein (deep vein thrombosis), which could break loose, travel through your bloodstream and lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism)
In addition, testosterone therapy may impact your risk of heart disease. Research has had conflicting results, so the exact risk isn't clear yet.

Honestly I feel like they are being pretty conservative with the risks and side effects too. TRT is a low dosage so it’s less risk, but it’s still there

If you take a list of possible side effects of aspirin, you’ll find a shit ton of them, no drug is exempt of possible side effects.

Sleeping problems... I have none in about 1 year of trt

Acné, yes I did have some pretty bad break out, but thats more related to estrogen than test, if you keep your estrogens in line, you shouldn’t have much problems, although some people do react pretty baldy, depens on the person.

Prostate cancer and trt has been proven to be a myth. Actually low levels of testosterone have more effects on prostate cancer than trt

Enlarge breast? Dude really? Ginomastia is due to estrogen, not test. IF you are into trt and your estrogens are skyrocketing, you need to take an ai, is simpke as that, some don’t need it some do. O,25 e3d of anastrozole will avoid almost all estrogen side effects related, by inhibiting th conversation of test to estrogen

Risk or blood clouds is probably because your blood has become too dense. Donate blood and you should be fine....about sperm and balls shinkrinf, it will happen, and it will be hard for you to have a child, you need to use hcg into the threatment to avoid that.

Basically all of what you have described will only happen to you if your a moron, or your doctor is even a bigger moron.

Just chiming in Gyno from test happens because the test actually converts into either DHT or aromatase into estrogen.

Yeah high DHT can contribute to prostate hyperplasia and pattern baldness but it would be elevated estrogen levels generally promoting gynecomastia.
