What Are The Side Effects Of Using Testosterone?

I am taking testosterone as i am transitioning to a man. This started two years ago and so far the changes are very slow and some have even stopped all together. I was 48 when i started and now am 50 and was wondering if my t level is too low. last time i tested it it was at 168. my male family members have no problem with facial hair and body shape. the male members are all on my mothers side of the family so I guess this is why my brother looks so hairy and manly. i take 200 ml every 2 weeks of T. what ca I do

Testosterone Therapy Side Effects. Testosterone therapy helps men with Low T, but comes with the risk of serious side effects like heart attack, stroke and blood clots. Record numbers of men are turning to testosterone replacement therapy to increase energy levels, muscle mass and sex drive.
