Dr. Mara Fiorentino answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Testosterone: The treatment of hormonal deficiency may take weeks or months to show results. Continue administering the daily dose consistently to observe if experiencing side effects with it. Sometimes you will need to have the dose increased to see any effect.
