Libido
Low libido is one of the most common reasons men turn to TRT, and also one of the most common complaints among men already on TRT who feel physically better but sexually flat. Discussions in this tag explore the multiple drivers: estradiol too high or too low, suppressed DHT, elevated prolactin, HPA-axis effects from long-term suppression, DHEA depletion, and protocol design choices like injection frequency. Members share what worked for them, including HCG addition, scrotal cream or DHT gel trials, PT-141, Cialis daily, and targeted E2 management.

I’d previously asked if suppression of GnRH by TRT is a problem. The literature at least hints that it is possible. The situation with kisspeptin may be...- Cataceous
