Hello Doctor I Recently Started On Weekly Testosterone Injections And
Question: Hello Doctor
I recently started on weekly Testosterone injections and had a couple of questions. My T count was 136, which my doctor considered very low, hence the injections. However, along with the low T count it appears my testicles have decreased in size as well and have become much softer. ( this has been going on for a couple of years now)
My question would be, 1. 1. Will the injections I am taking help bring the size of my testicles back to the size they previously were? 2. will taking these injections increase my libido as it has been non -existent for some time now. 3. With taking the injections, approximately how long will I see any changes or differences? 4. Are there any side effects I should be aware of that I should look out for?
Thank you so much for your responses
Regards

Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

2. It will certainly improve your libido.
3. You will see changes and differences as soon as 3-6 weeks and will feel much better after 6 weeks.
4. You may have some side effects such breast enlargement, water retention or rash you have to look for.
