Testosterone Question: what are the benefits/side effects for the use of depo testosterone, in a male adult?
Depotestosterone is an injectable male steroid used primarily for treating disorders of testerone deficiencey. These are usually erectile dysfunction secondary to low testerone levels and Kleinfelter’s Syndrome-an inherited disorder which leads to low testerone levels in phenotypic males. This steroid is also occasionally used in body builders and other individuals who are seeking to increase muscle mass and strength. Testerone is primarily an enhancer of “male” characteristics. Consequently, more beard growth, more muscle strength, more male pattern balding, more sex drive, higher blood counts etc. This drug can cause priapism(frequent or semi-permanent erections), liver disease, and clotting disorders due to the high levels of blood cells and platelets. Cholesterol is also adversely affected in some individuals. When used correctly and monitored it is a fairly low risk drug. When used incorrectly, in excessive doses, without correct blood monitoring it can lead to permanent liver dam
