So I'm about 2.5 months into doing low dose TRT, and so far very happy with the results. Muscle coming in great, starting to lean out. Probably about 6 weeks away from being extremely happy with my physique.
I used to have objectively large testicles. Like they were at least 2.5x the size they needed to be. And now they've shrunken down to a normal size which looks great. However, my scrotum is still about the same size as before, and it kinda looks funny with the new sized balls.
Does the scrotum right-size with the shrinking balls? Or am I stuck with this oversized scrotum for life?

No idea. Not a fan of TRT, myself.
While it works, it's not addressing why your test is low. Yeah, it drops as we age, but in most cases something is going on to keep it low. No reason why you can't have solid test levels in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond.
Just injecting your way to raise it, that won't address the underlying root reason why it's low, which could be anything. You'd be better off to find out why yours is low enough your doctor put you on TRT. Bad sleep? Exposure to plastics? Stress? Maybe an issue with heart disease? Chitty diet? Too fat? Too much estrogen?
^ most of those problems, they're not going away by going on TRT, that's just putting a bandaid on it and pretending it's gone away. Find out what's up, then address it. You probably won't need TRT when you're done.
Also, my brief time on TRT some years back, it's uneven. I would inject myself weekly, so more often than going in every 2 weeks or the patches, and even then -- injection day and after I'd be riding high, then dip and around time for another injection and be low. Mood, energy, all that would swing around way too much, must be what it's like to be a chick. Also was not a fan of it's effect on my hairline.
I was better off: Cutting that chit off. Making training a priority. Making sleep a priority. Cutting out as much plastic tupperware or drinking w/ plastic as I could, drinking out of glass mason jars and the like. Speaking of drinking, limiting alcohol. Supplementing with DIM or getting lots of cruciferous vegetables. 5 eggs/daily. Mitigating stress in my life.
... not only did my test skyrocket, to normal levels, but my overall health and well-being went up with it. All my bloodwork is spotless now, other than high cholesterol (but with low triglycerides and good ratio of LDL/HDL), which high cholesterol isn't nearly the problem, if any, as it's made out to be. Sleep better, have more energy, do not have low days, am not constantly moody or having other problems that TRT only covered up.Last edited by JUSA; 05-15-2024 at 09:35 AM.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Honestly for me it's all over the place. Sometimes everything is nice, full and asthenic, and sometimes it's just a saggy sack.
Other than hydration, I'm not sure why it varies.________

The honorable LooksMaximus (Godspeed, boyo) said that his testicles shrank and that during sex he had to wear some sort of band around his scrotum to keep his testicles from retracting into this body.
The way he worded that statement suggested that scrotum sack eventually shrank over time due to his use of gear...Everything I post is satire.
