What Are Testosterone Injections, and How Do They Affect the Body? - #15510
I recently started learning about testosterone injections, and I wanted to understand more about their effects. From what I understand, testosterone injections are used to treat low testosterone levels in men and sometimes for hormone therapy in transgender individuals, but how do they work? I read that low testosterone can cause fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, and mood changes, but how do doctors determine whether someone actually needs testosterone injections versus natural hormone-boosting methods? One thing that concerns me is whether testosterone injections have side effects. Can they cause mood swings, heart issues, or long-term dependency? Are there any risks of taking testosterone therapy without medical supervision? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural alternatives to support healthy testosterone levels? I’ve heard that Ashwagandha, Safed Musli, and Gokshura are beneficial for boosting testosterone naturally—do these actually work as well as testosterone injections? If anyone has used testosterone injections, what was your experience like? Did they help improve energy levels, strength, or overall well-being, or were there any side effects?
