Is TRT for life or not?
AlphaMD's Answer
All men considering TRT should be prepared for the fact that it is a lifelong treatment.
There are some men that start TRT and then lose a lot of weight and that weight loss fixes their sleep apnea and diabetes and they start exercising again. These men can sometimes come off of TRT because they have fixed their body with the help of TRT, which they couldn’t have done without it. But unfortunately, most men who need TRT will need it for life.
