I'm curious how many TRT recipients on these forms also have thyroid issues. It seems that many people I know who are on TRT are also on thyroid medication, I'm wondering if the two are related. Does TRT eventually lead to thyroid issues?

Where is that idea coming from? If anything... there is a high link between hypogonadism (low testosterone) and hypothyroidism ( underactive thyroids) but not the opposite.. of why would having healthy testosterone levels (because that’s what real trt is) have any negative impacts on thyroids glands?
