TRT treatment is very safe and plans are closely monitored by qualified medical professionals. There can be side effects from TRT, as is common with any medical treatment. This can include:

• Acne – if you had acne during puberty, you could redevelop similar symptoms after using TRT for an extended period of time.
• Body hair growth – although uncommon, high doses of testosterone can lead to higher volumes of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), resulting in excess body hair. Depending on your preferences, this could be a positive or negative side effect.
• Increased blood pressure – this is uncommon in controlled doses. Plus, in isolation, higher blood pressure isn’t a cause for concern. At Alphagenix, we monitor blood count on all routine bloods to be sure.
• Sleep apnea – research suggests that in some cases, TRT might contribute to or worsen sleep apnea. This can result in loud snoring, morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and irritability.
• Longer erections – in the first few months of TRT especially, you may notice prolonged erections. If you experience any pain, contact your doctor.
• Skin irritation – for those using injections or gels, the application site can become sensitive and red for an extended period. Specialist care can easily avoid skin irritation, and your dedicated account manager will be on hand if you need to report issues like this.
• Accelerated balding – this is only a concern for men who have the balding gene. TRT treatment may slightly accelerate the process.

TRT won’t lead to overnight results. Many men will experience improvements during their first 6 weeks of treatment. However, this is commonly isolated to energy levels, mental clarity, and an improvement in mood. Other effects, such as changes to fat and lean body mass, may take a few months to manifest. As you continue your treatment plan, you’ll likely continue to see positive developments in your health.

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in the development of ‘male’ characteristics, along with supporting bodily processes in both men and women. Testosterone is responsible for:

• Muscle growth and height
• Pubic hair
• Deepening of the voice (men)
• Growth of the penis and testes (men)
• Sperm production (men)
• Red blood cell production
• Muscle growth and strength
• Maintaining bone strength
• Sex drive

If you’re suffering from low testosterone, you could experience one or more of the following symptoms:

• Poor sleep quality
• Lack of focus
