Could The Depo Testosterone Cause Burning In Nipples And Increase In Size?

I m a 50 year old male. My doctor has me on Depo Testosteone 200 mg every two and half weeks. It has really made me feel better, almost life changing. I don t want him to lower my dose. I think I have started to develope what they call bicth tit. My neeples burn and itch and they are getting larger. I order mamofen 20 mg and now I m scared to take it. Your advice would be helpful.

Hi,

Yes it can occur as a side effect of testosterone as sometimes testosterone get converted into estrogen due to activity of an enzyme which leads to these side effects.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
