A member asked:
Dx:melanoma while on trt (androgel). only been using for 2 months; want to stop, though, given new dx. can i just quit, or do i need to "wean" off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to wean off: Although, you will likely have fatigue and decreased libido. Depending on the cause of your low testosterone, you may have return of normal testosterone levels after stopping your replacement. If your hormonal axis returns, it takes at least 3 months after stopping your androgel.
