Why might TRT cause testicles to shrink, and how can this side effect be managed?
When a man uses testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the extra testosterone sends a signal to the brain that reduces the natural hormone signals, so the testicles shrink because they produce less testosterone. This side effect can be managed by adjusting the therapy or adding treatments like hCG to help keep the testicles active.
