If you have been taking TRT for a long time and have experienced testicular shrinkage, HCG can help boost your testosterone production. If you have just started the TRT. Some of the physical changes caused by masculinizing hormone therapy can be reversed if you stop taking testosterone. Others, such as a deeper voice, a larger clitoris, hair loss on the scalp, and increased body and facial hair, cannot be reverse.
Some men are very affected when they try to stop taking testosterone, especially if their starting numbers were low. Depending on your current dosage, the side effects of stopping taking it “all at once” can be quite serious, especially if your initial testosterone levels were extremely low. Gradually reducing your testosterone intake over several weeks may be the safest way to end treatment without as many negative drawbacks. “Giving up treatment slowly” will minimize the impact the body feels during the process.

In a larger group of men with severe depression (n = 2 × 50), effects of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with gel compared to placebo were seen within 6 weeks. The effects on sexual interest appear after 3 weeks and stabilize after 6 weeks, and no further increases are expected beyond that. These supportive medications help regulate estradiol levels, so you don't suffer the negative effects of the increase in estrogen.
This review attempts to determine, based on published studies, the temporal evolution of the effects induced by testosterone replacement therapy from its first manifestation until maximum effects are reached. Therefore, the effects on trunk fat, which are often measured as changes in waist circumference (3), are highly relevant effects of testosterone treatment. In addition, the effects on erection occur quite rapidly and can be explained in part by non-genomic effects on the vascular erectile tissue of the penis (8). It can be concluded that the effects of testosterone on muscle strength can be demonstrated after 12 to 20 weeks and that, depending on the testosterone levels achieved, the maximum effects are reached after 6 or 12 months.
An experienced provider can help you ensure that you get the benefits of HCG while minimizing the potential side effects. The temporal evolution of the spectrum of effects of testosterone shows significant variation, probably related to the pharmacodynamics of the testosterone preparation. Obviously, these effects are directly related to testosterone and not to its flavoring product E2, as was later confirmed in a placebo-controlled trial in which an aromatase inhibitor and testosterone were administered to hypogonadal men. These personalized plans help you avoid adverse side effects, stabilize your levels, and stay in good shape.
From studies that analyzed the effects of administering testosterone for 36 months (25, 2), an increase was observed during that period and it was not clear if the maximum effects of testosterone in improving bone mineral had been achieved after 36 months. In conclusion, this analysis seeks to trace the differences in the periods of time after which the biological effects of testosterone administration occur in hypogonadal men. Insulin sensitivity may improve within a few days, but effects on glycemic control become apparent only after 3 to 12 months. To understand how HCG can prevent testicular shrinkage, we will analyze the effect of exogenous testosterone (the testosterone obtained from medications).
