Does testosterone affect personality?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-years-old male. I am 5'6" feet in height and weigh about 150 pounds. I would like to know about testosterone injections. If I took it in a small dosage weekly, would that help my appearance to be more manly? Even though my appearance is manly in general, my physical build is small compared to other men; my face, hands, and legs are small, and my voice is feminine.

My testosterone level is good. My body is too hairy, and I did a testosterone test, and everything was normal. I know there are a lot of studies that say that testosterone can lead to depression, but actually, at the age of 21, I was suffering from depression, and I took testosterone for a month (to gain muscles); my mood was very good, and it actually helped my depression. Also, my sexual life and erection are very good. I masturbate once or twice every two days, and I get an erection easily. Kindly help me with these questions:

Will testosterone injections help me be more manly? What is the recommended dose that I have to take monthly? What are testosterone injections made from? Are they made from an animal source? Will testosterone affect my personality? Do I have to take it for life? What if, after some period, I decided to stop? Will I lose what I gained? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read and understood your problem. Testosterone injections have beneficial effects if only blood testosterone levels are low. Otherwise, it may harm you in several ways. For a more manly look, the best solution is to do exercise. I have answered your question in the same order. Testosterone injections will not help to be manly unless your blood testosterone level is low.

If the blood testosterone level is low, even then, injections of HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) or oral Clomifene are a better choice. Mostly, testosterone injections are synthetic. It will not affect your personality if the blood level is normal. If the blood testosterone level is low, then you may need longer treatment, but the effect is temporary. You may lose what you gained if you stop injections.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Actually, this is not a disease. It is related to increased blood flow. You can just do a cold water sponge of eyes. Yogurt, tomatoes, and bananas are good general nutrients but not related to eye-burning, for which a wet sponge is the best.

I hope this helps.
