Episode 2: Why Do I Feel So Tired After Testosterone ?

Nelson Vergel's Podcasts

Some men that start testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are surprised to find out that their baseline fatigue may actually get worse. Why Can TRT Cause Fatigue? Testosterone replacement therapy can cause fatigue in some men for a variety of reasons, including: Overstimulation of the body: Increased testosterone levels can cause the body to overwork, leading to fatigue and exhaustion. Insomnia: Some men on testosterone therapy may experience difficulty sleeping, which can lead to fatigue. Hormonal imbalance: A sudden increase in testosterone levels can cause an imbalance with other hormones in the body, leading to fatigue and other symptoms. Side effects of the medication: Testosterone therapy can cause side effects such as acne, fluid retention, and mood changes, which can also contribute to feelings of fatigue. It's important to note that testosterone therapy can also help improve energy levels and reduce fatigue in some men, but it's best to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider before starting treatment. If no improvements in fatigue are observed after six weeks of testosterone replacement, factors beyond hypogonadism may be present. This podcast will review a few ways to find out what the reasons for TRT fatigue may be. https://www.discountedlabs.com/blog/why-do-i-feel-so-tired-after-testosterone
