I’ve been recently thinking of getting Testosterone Replacement Therapy and, although I finally decided not to, I don't rule it out for the future.
TRT was thought to treat hypogonadism and it symptoms: low libido, erectile dysfunction, depressed mood, decreased libido, decreased muscle mass and strength.

Normal testosterone level range from 250 to about 1,000 (total testosterone), so, it was thought for those people that produced less than 250 ng/dl, or those who were near that mark (although not below it) and showed hypogonadism symptoms.

But in the recent years, TRT has started being used not for those who have low levels, but for those who have normal levels and want to have higher, optimal levels. These treatments are carried out in private clinics, as no docs in the public sector want to prescribe testosterone just because you want to feel better.

So, a middle-aged man having around 400 ng/dl test levels wouldn’t be considered a candidate for TRT in the past. However, nowadays he can get TRT to improve his test level to 900-1,000 ng/dl.

Pros of getting TRT therapy: better energy, higher sex drive, improved sleep, increased muscle and decrease in body fat (even if you don’t exercise). In summary, feeling like if you were in your twenties.

In general, most people don’t have side effects from TRT but some of the cons are:

-Once you start on TRT, your body stops its natural production of testosterone, so you will need to be on TRT for the rest of your life. As a result, your body also decreases its natural sperm production and your testicles may shrink.

-For some users, it may accelerate baldness. It may create gynecomastia, so some users may need to take other medicines to prevent/cure it.
However, compared to heavy steroid users (usually bodybuilders) these side effects are mild or don’t even exist. This is because bodybuilders take doses that make test levels go way above what are the normal natural ones, whereas people on TRT get their test raised to the higher end of natural levels.

Some famous people are known to be on TRT, like Robbie Williams, Bruce Willis of Jeff Bezos. If you see a Hollywood actor on his fifties with well defined abs (although not big), that guy is probably on TRT.

So, as I’ve said, I’ve been thinking about it recently but I’ve discard it for the moment because getting on TRT is a decision for life, and I don’t feel that bad. But can you imagine being 55 (or 60) and having the energy, sex drive, stamina etc., of a 20-year-old?

I’d like to know what you think about it and I’m especially interested if you are already on TRT.

Hi mate, thanks for you reply but I was more interested in knowing opinions from forum members rather than you just pasting a link with information that I already know.

If you don't feel that bad with your current levels then better postpone the therapy until you can't accept it anymore and you really wanted it for better sex experience.Not much cons for it other than that baldness and itself not a huge con when you have money the girls are going to get attracted to you.
