question from a user

Can you comment on the distinction between TRT cream and injections? Do you find cream has better dht conversion? Does this mitigate some of the libido/ed issues associated with injection? Also, do you find one is better in terms of muscle gains? Thanks.

AlphaMD's Answer

In general we find that libido & erectile function are improved through either method for any man suffering from hypogonadism. There are a few cases where this doesn't happen, at which time we work with ED medications for very low cost as well.

There has been some evidence to suggest creams have slightly higher DHT conversion than injections, though for most it is probably a negligible difference between the two for DHT, but we honestly do not test for DHT levels in our patients often to be able to provide insider data on that.

Injections are going to be better muscle gains most of the time. This comes down to ease of which a constant level is maintained throughout every day, compliance to regimen, and being able to adjust doses much more precisely. It will usually be better for relative hypogonadism due to the higher doses needed.
