Does TRT Have Long Term Side Effects?

Written by Sarah Thompson - January 05, 2023

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has been increasingly used to treat low T levels in aging men. While it can be an effective treatment, there are a number of potential side effects that could arise as a result of long-term usage.

Short-Term Side Effects
TRT comes with both short and long-term side effects. Most short-term side effects will dissipate within six months after you begin taking TRT. Short-term side effects may include:

  • Acne breakouts or skin irritation
  • Breast tenderness
  • Enlarged prostate gland
  • Nausea
  • Sudden mood swings
  • Irritability or aggression
  • Reduced sperm count or infertility

Long-Term Side Effects
There is some evidence to suggest that prolonged use of TRT supplements could lead to more serious health risks in the long term such as increased risk of heart attack, stroke, prostate cancer and sleep apnea. However, data is still limited and more research needs to be done on the effects of long term usage. It is important to weigh the potential benefits against these potential risks when considering whether or not TRT is the right choice for you.
