On TRT Water retention isnt going even with AI . Blood work done .

I started to have red bags under my eyes shorlty after started with TRT. I do drink wine every evening which is normal here in south of europe but not 1lit lol. It may be thant TRT and alcohol don¨t go well together. Only my speculations
 
Your estrogen is clearly undetectable/low and is causing paradoxical water retention. Stop the AI and I can almost promiseyou the water retention go away within a week. Please report back.

Understanding Your Hormones

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
