Testosterone: Short-Term Benefits vs. Long-Term Impact
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has gained popularity for its short-term benefits, such as improved libido, muscle mass, and vitality. However, TRT may pose risks and potentially impact longevity. Side effects can include worsened sleep apnea, enlarged breasts, prostate enlargement, shrinking testicles, and increased red blood cell production, which may lead to blood clots. Long-term use of TRT may not be conducive to longer life. It is essential to maintain natural healthy levels of testosterone by working out and keeping muscles strong.
