, has seen a surge in both popularity and profile in recent years, with prescriptions in the UK increasing . This rise in prescriptions has been mirrored by TRT’s increasing prevalence in the media and the amount of information available about the treatment both in academia and online.

The benefits of testosterone replacement therapy, it’s have all been widely but what happens if you stop with your treatment plan? To help answer this question, and to help you make informed decisions about your own treatment, health and wellbeing, we’ve taken a look at the most current clinical research as well as our experience helping thousands of patients over the years.

Can I come off TRT at any time?

Yes, you can simply stop TRT at any time without any life-threatening side effects. However the rapid shift in your body’s hormone levels can cause a resurgence of the you were experiencing pre-treatment. For this reason we often use medications like HCG alongside TRT to keep your body producing it’s own testosterone whilst you’re on treatment.

What happens when you come off TRT?

TRT will put your body through a range of changes where it to the lack of exogenous (supplementary) testosterone. These effects can vary depending on a range of factors, like the length of your treatment, your pre-treatment testosterone levels, your body’s baseline ability to produce the hormone and whether you have been concurrently taking a treatment alongside testosterone that keeps the body’s natural production going whilst on TRT.

In a typical patient taking TRT alone, here’s what happens when they come off TRT:

While your body’s natural testosterone production will usually recover, it can take anywhere from weeks to months for this to happen, depending on how suppressed it was. Also, if you have been receiving TRT for an extended and sustained period of time, your body may struggle to produce natural testosterone on its own. During this period the that you experienced prior to starting TRT return, but more marked than they were previously. If your body’s natural production has been switched off for a period of time, you are unlikely to regain all of your previous function.
