How dangerous / risky is TRT?

[buck]

I think that those who are on TRT in general are more cognizant of their greater health contributors and influences rather than some lucky old timer who is defying statistics genetically (and possibly lifestyle), but most guys on TRT that serves as a genesis to further health research and personal refinement , the hrt crowd looks healthier than the non hrt crowd in my observations

I would tend to agree but those on TRT or what they call TRT on BB forums may not be a part of that group as it seems many are not doing what they can to live the longest and be healthy they can while doing it. Many are willing to forgo some health and more years for a better quality with a shorter term.

I feel that having lower testosterone is worse for your health than slightly above average.

I mean, if we’re just going off of how low testosterone affects individuals, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to improve quality of life. Obviously it’s geared more towards individuals +40 once serum testosterone starts to decrease but I can’t imagine a scenario where someone would prefer low test vs. above average-upper range

They blast women transitioning into men with testosterone.

You should be fine..

Not only do we take trt but an additional 1-5000 more mgs of other steroids as well. Its kind of one of those things that are fine...as long as you're fine with it.

@jimmy3024 glad you joined a hardcore BBing forum just to ask this question...

Ive been on TRT for 15 years. Last year I had an angiogram where they actually go into your heart and look for blockages and damage etc. My cardiologist told me, "what ever you are doing, keep doing it, your heart looks great."

I've been on TRT for over 30 years, under a Dr. care. I'm 68 and it has not caused me any health problems.
