Title: Side Effects on Testosterone + Deca – Anyone Experienced ThisV

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has encountered similar symptoms. Here’s my timeline:

  • I started Testosterone 200 mg/week (I was on this dose for two months)

  • For two weeks, I also used Deca 50 mg.

  • Around that time, I started noticing urethra discomfort / burning.

  • I also developed acne.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced urethra symptoms, my urethra in penis is red and sore after ejaculation.

Is this because of my elevated estradiol?

I am aware I need to lower my dose, but want to understand what is happening to me.

I want to take a break and see if it resolves, what are your thoughts?

You’re not on TRT you’re on scripted steroids. Drop the Deca, lower your TRT dose and try more frequent injections due to low SHBG.

Thanks.

Going to drop the deca and adjust my dose way down. Ill go down to 80 or 100

I understand its too high lvls. Im just so afraid ive ruined my weiner

Nah you’re just outside of optimal libido parameters. Also Deca is the worst for “Weiner performance”. It’s a boner killer for sure.

That would be unrelated. You may have an infection that needs antibiotics assuming no STD.
