TRT Nosebleeds After Shower

[futbolplayer]

I have a rather interesting side effect, which I can directly attribute to testosterone replacement and I am seeking the opinion of others informally. While my research indicates this is not something to worry about immediately, I will eventually speak to a doctor about it.

Anyways, I was off TRT for around 3-months due to running out of medication. During this time, I did not have a single nosebleed after showering and blowing my nose. Low and behold, I start back up on testosterone a couple days ago, take a shower, and of course get a nose bleed after blowing my nose. This always happens on the left-side. Of course, with a pinch for about 15-30 seconds, the nose bleed stops.

While some may argue that this single incident nosebleed is coincidental and not related to TRT, I can assure you that based on pattern analysis and my history, this is not the case; I am more susceptible to nosebleeds on TRT. Does anyone on this forum have any theories?

Keep in mind, left-side only. Blood pressure has always been normal on TRT. I take a moderate dosage of around 100mg per week. Only other side effect I get from TRT is acne which is manageable with benzol-peroxide scrub.

That's interesting. Do you know the mechanism?

Also on the list, albeit lower, would be changes in blood pressure.

I wonder if it's an increase in estrogen that's causing the nosebleed?

Nosebleeds and Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal changes can increase the blood flow to the body’s mucus membranes, thus increasing the risk of nosebleeds. Some people experience these more than others but if you’re undergoing major changes resulting from pregnancy, anabolic steroid use, puberty, or birth control, you may get...
