How can I prevent testicular atrophy and shrinkage while on TRT?
I am concerned about testicular shrinkage after starting TRT, especially since I already have some existing atrophy. What are the best ways to prevent this while on treatment?
Testicular atrophy is a common side effect of TRT because external testosterone signals the body to pause its own production. To mitigate this, many patients use HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) alongside their protocol to maintain testicular volume and function. At HeydayMD, our clinicians work with you to balance your hormone levels while addressing concerns like atrophy or fertility preservation through personalized treatment plans. Monitoring your progress with regular labs ensures your protocol remains effective and aligned with your long-term health goals.
Every body is different. A licensed provider can look at your own labs and symptoms.
