I have kleinfelter syndrome, my body doesn't produce testosterone. I have to take estrogen blockers to prevent my body from making estrogen.
So I'll be taking TRT injections for the rest of my life. The only real downside to that is knowing prostate cancer is likely, 2 years in and it's already elevating my PSA levels. Right now my doctor feels I'm too young to worry about it, they only check it on the off chance that my levels spike into dangerous territory.
