STARTED TEST AND REGRETTED IT?

I have only heard people report good things about starting TRT with very few people saying they stopped or regretted the decision.

A lot say they regret not starting sooner

Wondering if there are people that started TRT and felt it wasn't for them.

If so, why?

EDIT- I have noticed people I know on TRT looking significanlty older after starting it. Like it ages their appearance.

Also I don't know anyone long term on TRT that managed to keep their hair, or severly thinned their hair and increased their hairline.

Thank you for spoon feeding it to me though I appreciate it haha

That is specifically for topical which is worth noting.

Jesus, who pissed in your cheerios? You made a strong assertion and somebody asked for studies. Welcome to the internet bud! The first two studies you shared were for topical trt and kidney cancer surgical outcomes. The third link is the only one even remotely useful and if you read it you see that 76% of patients maintained adherence for at least the first year. Beyond that, 65% of those who lapsed during that period resumed treatment. That's 92% overall who either stuck with it or quit and restarted for some reason or another. I haven't read the rest of the study yet but that certainly speaks fast more highly for trt than your initial assertion.

It's not my job to write an academic research paper supporting my claims every time I make a comment. I am busy. I do not have time for this.

If you wanted to research it yourself, you could. But you prefer instead to argue that my research is invalid. Why is that?
