What Are The Side Effects Of Depo Testosterone Injections?
My 35 yo son has started depo testosterone injections for low testosterone levels. He has had 3 injections two weeks apart. What are some side effects he may experience? I have noticed he seems quick to anger and get agitated after he gets this injection.

welcome to hcm
you have seen rightly as trstosterone is male harmone it will lead to aggressiveness and amger in boy
but these must have lessened on second day
there may be muscle mass increase
but long duration testosterone has its own side effects as osteoporosis and testicular atrophy but these are pn prolonged duration therapy ..these are not observed on short term therapies.
if you have any further query then you can come back to hcm i will definitely help you
