question from a user
Do you recommend HCG along with TRT? Not for fertility but for other benefits? Like keeping testicle size normal?
AlphaMD's Answer
We would be neutral on HCG with TRT if not for fertility.
There is no long term side effect from using HCG all the time, so there's not a medical reason to not use it.
However there is also not very much benefit from HCG that Testosterone isn't going to be providing you, from a therapy benefits standpoint.
Something like testicle size would be what we could call a "cosmetic" benefit, as typically teste size does not impact sexual function, sexual gratification, or even very little to do with ejaculatory load (<10%). So unless you really care about teste sensation themselves for a particular kink, the extra money spent is typically just for looks.
That's the only real downside, is that it's pretty pricey for just looks for the average man.
