Most side effects reported with injectable testosterone are mild, and may include nausea, insomnia, rash at site of injection and breast enlargement. To prevent the development of swelling, it is preferable to lower the sodium intake in your diet. Occasionally, effects such as an increase in facial hair growth, acne, deepening of the voice or menstrual irregularities (in women) or male pattern baldness, erectile and ejaculation difficulties (in males) may occur.
There are many other possible side effects associated with the use of Testosterone Cypionate. This product has a high level of aromatization into estrogen and coverts to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) as well. Estrogen is the female sex hormone, and too much of it can cause a high risk of gynecomastia (formation of breast tissue in males), water retention, and other undesirable side effects. DHT can cause male pattern baldness as well as acne.
Also, supplementing Testosterone to your body will result in the shutting down of the body’s natural production of the hormone. The severity of side effects depends mostly on the levels and duration of circulating free testosterone as well as its conversion into other hormones. Testosterone’s anabolic/androgenic effects (as well as side effects) are dependant upon dosage.
