Side Effects of Too Much Testosterone

Testosterone Replacement Therapy has many benefits. Yet, there are also adverse side effects that you and your doctors should look out for.

Mood Changes & Increase in Anger

Increased levels of testosterone can lead to reduced cognition. Men who take too much testosterone are likely to have poorer judgment. They may make rash decisions before thinking their decisions through.

They can also respond to situations more in more aggressive manners. Too much testosterone can lead to aggression and risky behavior. Mood swings are typical when there is too much testosterone in the body.

Mood swings related to high testosterone can range from euphoria to depressive lows. People with high testosterone are more irritable and impatient.

They’re also more likely to snap at others. This is especially the case in people who abuse steroids.

Physical Signs of Too Much Testosterone

It’s also possible for people receiving testosterone therapy to gain weight. Sometimes this happens because the body will convert extra testosterone into estrogen.

Men with higher levels of testosterone are more prone to develop acne, oily skin, and balding. High testosterone levels correlate with high DHT levels.

DHT is another sex hormone that’s responsible for male characteristics. These characteristics include facial hair and a deep voice. When there is too much DHT in the body, acne can develop and a man can lose his hair.

Testicle Shrinkage

The brain will signal for the body to stop producing testosterone when it senses too much of it. When this happens, the testicles shrink in size because it stops producing testosterone. This can also lead to low s alperm count.

Tell your doctor right away if you notice a shrinkage in the size of your testicles. This may be a sign that your testosterone levels are too high.
