[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 148103, member: 3"] [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/why-can-testosterone-increase-water-retention.17565/']Why can testosterone increase water retention?[/URL] TESTOSTERONE EFFECTS ON BODY WATER The pioneers in the androgen field recognized that testosterone administration in androgen-deficient men and in healthy women was associated with significant retention of sodium, chloride, and potassium, sulfur and phosphate (Knowlton et al, 1942; Wilson 1996). Knowlton et al. (1942) reported that much of the early weight gain could be accounted for by water retention in association with retained electrolytes and protein. When administration of androgen is stopped, sodium, potassium, and water are lost quickly (Knowlton et al, 1942; Wilson 1996). Significant water retention resulting in edema is unusual in healthy, hypogonadal men, who are receiving replacement doses of testosterone. However, supraphysiologic doses of testosterone can result in edema and exacerbate heart failure when given to men with pre-existing heart or kidney disease. In clinical trials of testosterone replacement in older men (Snyder et al, 1999; Sih et al, 1997, Tenover 1998; Kenny et al, 2001), the frequency of edema and congestive heart failure in testosterone-treated men has been very low.
