What are the negative effects of too much Testosterone?
A. Interestingly, the negative effects of too much Testosterone include increased snoring, baldness and loss of sex drive, all symptoms similar to those which occur when there is too little Testosterone. Additional negative effects of supranormal Testosterone include acne, increased aggression and risk-taking behaviors, rapid weight gain, and thickening of the blood due to too much iron pigment or hemoglobin (Hgb). Men as they age may become feminized due to not enough Testosterone and too much Estrogen. Estrogen also increases the clotting of blood, with damaging effects on men by increasing the risk of stroke and high blood pressure. Estrogen increases cancer risk and raises blood pressure in women, too. Too much Testosterone can increase DHT and in the presence of too much Estrogen increase prostate cancer risk.
