TRT Myths vs. Facts: What Men Should Really Know About Testosterone Therapy

There’s a lot of confusion out there about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) — and unfortunately, misinformation can keep men from getting the help they need. Low testosterone isn’t just about aging; it’s a medical condition that can impact energy, mood, focus, and libido.

At Key T Wellness, we’re here to set the record straight and help you understand what TRT really is — and what it isn’t.

Myth 1: TRT Is Only for Older Men

Fact: While testosterone levels do decline naturally with age, younger men can also experience Low T due to stress, poor sleep, medications, or hormonal imbalances. TRT is based on lab results and symptoms, not age.

Myth 2: Testosterone Therapy Causes Aggression or “Roid Rage”

Fact: Medical TRT restores your testosterone to healthy, balanced levels — not excessive ones. In fact, men who undergo supervised therapy often report feeling calmer, more focused, and emotionally stable.

Myth 3: TRT Will Shrink Testicles and Harm Fertility

Fact: It’s true that testosterone therapy can affect fertility if not managed properly. However, under medical supervision, your provider can use treatment protocols that protect fertility while restoring optimal testosterone levels.

Myth 4: Once You Start TRT, You’re Stuck on It Forever

Fact: Every patient’s needs are unique. Some men benefit from long-term therapy, while others use it to correct temporary imbalances. The key is working with a qualified provider who monitors your levels and adjusts your plan as needed.

Myth 5: Testosterone Therapy Is Dangerous

Fact: When prescribed and monitored by medical professionals, TRT is safe and effective. Most side effects occur only when testosterone is used without medical supervision or in doses that are too high. Regular check-ins and blood work ensure safe, personalized care.
