A member asked:

Does testosterone treatment help with weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Hi. If you're hypogonadal (low testosterone), treating with testosterone will help muscle health and shift body fat mass down and muscle mass up. Muscle is more dense than fat, however, so body weight may decrease, but it's not a sure thing.
