Has anyone had blood clots from TRT?

[KenAdams]

If so how bad and is it common? Thank you.

TRT only causes an increase in red blood cells, same as living at high altitude.

Platelets cause blood to clot, TRT doesn’t increase platelets, therefore TRT can’t cause blood to clot.

There was a guy on YouTube who got a clot in his lungs and leg 8 months into TRT, he had sleep apnea which is known to increase your risk of clots.

Now that’s not to say TRT didn’t contribute to the clot, but it didn’t “cause” the clotting. There’s a lot of people out there who aren’t on TRT and have sleep apnea who are at the same risk for clotting.

I have been on TRT for five years and have had no blood clots during that time.
