What Are the Permanent Effects of Going on Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a critical role in developing and maintaining male sexual characteristics. It also plays a role in the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density.1
Many men struggle with low testosterone levels as they age, and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment used to boost these levels in men.

Why Is TRT Prescribed?

TRT is typically prescribed for men who have been diagnosed with hypogonadism, which is a condition in which the body produces low levels of testosterone. 
However, many men can also utilize TRT to reclaim their prime and live stronger, healthier lives. Our team at Gatlan provides effective, science-backed oral TRT options for men to revitalize their energy levels and beat the challenges of aging.

How Does Oral TRT Work?

Unlike injections or gels, oral TRT utilizes specially formulated capsules designed for efficient absorption. 
Once ingested, the testosterone enters the bloodstream, mimicking the natural production of the hormone. By restoring your hormone balance, Gatlan can help you regain your vitality, improve physical performance, and boost your overall sense of well-being.

What Are the Permanent Effects of Going on Testosterone?

Before delving into the permanent effects of testosterone, it’s important to first understand the side effects of the treatment in general. 
Some of the most common results that men experience while undergoing TRT include:
  • Increased energy
  • Enhanced muscle mass and strength
  • Heightened libido
  • Sharper cognitive function
  • Stronger bones
  • Acne
  • Fluid retention
  • Breast enlargement
  • Prostate issues
  • Sleep apnea
  • Mood swings

Gatlan can personalize your treatment plan and minimize potential side effects. By working closely with our healthcare providers, you can make informed decisions about your health and maximize the potential benefits of TRT. 

Potential Permanent Effects of TRT

In general, the effects of TRT are reversible. This means that if TRT is discontinued, the body will return to its pretreatment state.
However, some permanent effects of going on testosterone include changes in voice pitch and hair growth. These effects result from laryngeal and facial hair follicle growth, respectively. They are not always reversible once they occur.2

Other Potential Changes When Starting Testosterone: A Deeper Look

Mood-wise, the effects of TRT on mood can vary depending on the individual. Some men may experience an improvement in mood after starting TRT, as low testosterone levels have been associated with depression and other mood disorders.3
However, TRT can also cause mood swings, irritability, and aggression in some men. These effects are usually mild and temporary, but in some cases, they may persist and require changes to the treatment plan.
While mood changes are a potential side effect of TRT, the effects can vary and are generally mild and temporary.

Physical Changes

One of the most common physical changes is an increase in red blood cell count, as testosterone stimulates the production of erythropoietin. In turn, this stimulates the production of red blood cells. 
This effect can be beneficial in cases of anemia but may also increase the risk of blood clots. Gatlan’s team will ensure that your TRT dosage is catered to your needs and potential symptoms.4

Body Composition and Bone Health

One of the key advantages of TRT is its potential to create lasting changes in body composition. These improvements can persist even after stopping TRT, contributing to a leaner physique and improved metabolic health in the long run. 
Beyond that, TRT programs can lead to permanent improvements in bone health. Stronger bones mean reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures, allowing men to maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy greater freedom of movement for years to come.

Fertility and Cardiovascular Health

While TRT offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to be aware of potential effects on fertility. Gatlan’s expert medical team provides comprehensive consultations to discuss these aspects openly and honestly. 
We’ll help men understand the potential impact of TRT on sperm production and fertility, including the possibility of infertility. 
Additionally, Gatlan prioritizes cardiovascular health. At Gatlan, our multidisciplinary healthcare team will monitor cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular markers to ensure the treatment plan supports overall well-being.

Prostate Health

It’s also important to acknowledge that TRT can influence prostate growth and may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Gatlan’s medical professionals will discuss the potential effects of TRT on your prostate health, conduct necessary screenings, and monitor your progress closely. 
With Gatlan, you can have confidence that your treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs.
