Medical experts are warning young men against the social media trend 'T-maxxing,' which involves using unprescribed testosterone to optimize muscle and mood.
Urologist Philip Werthman noted that using testosterone therapy without a medical diagnosis like hypogonadism can lead to infertility, azoospermia, and breast enlargement.
Psychologist Rachel Goldman stated that the trend appeals to young men facing body image issues, as algorithms often intensify insecurities by promoting performance-enhancing hormones.
