There are a lot of TRT protocols that non-specialists prescribe which are universally understood to be counterproductive, and one doesn’t need to be a doctor to know that.
The really bad ones are either dosages which are just high enough to shut down one’s natural production but not high enough to replace it, or infrequent dosages (weekly or less) which cause a brief spike of healthy T levels and then a long trough of being too low. Some patients don’t respond well to creams or topical treatments, either.
- foldr 4y agoI think I draw the line at giving someone specific advice regarding how much testosterone they should be injecting themselves with. You shouldn't be doing that unless you have the relevant expertise and know the circumstances and goals of the patient and their medical history. In any other situation it's just irresponsible. However common it may be for random anonymous people in the internet to give out unsolicited medical advice, I can't agree that it's ok. It certainly doesn't contribute anything of value to the discussion.
