- 0:00My guy guys one year update on testosterone now this video actually might come as a surprise to you because I
- 0:08Am no longer taking testosterone now for you probably wonder dude why you basically had the elixir of
- 0:17Masculinity in life at your disposal. Why did you stop taking it? So basically what happened was it was actually by accident
- 0:23I missed my dose because my prescription ran out and I was out of town and then the next week
- 0:31It didn't come in time and then I realized that my sleep improved that two weeks being off of testosterone
- 0:38I was sleeping three to four hours a night. My doctor was sending me to sleep studies. I didn't really know what was going on
- 0:44They said I was sleep deprived, but I didn't really understand why I was sleep deprived
- 0:47You know why could I not sleep while I was falling asleep during the day
- 0:50I wasn't sleep at night and what I realized was that when I missed out dosages to testosterone
- 0:55I was started to sleep six seven eight hours a night
- 1:00And then I just kind of stayed off it honestly another reason why I just kind of got off testosterone
- 1:05It's kind of a hassle
- 1:06I mean honestly if you want to travel I'm traveling this summer and doing all of those things and you know taking needles and having the
- 1:13paperwork and the document also the injections
- 1:16It started to get really annoying really tedious. I'm not really one of her needles especially because I had to inject myself
- 1:25So if it's something that you're looking into you know ask your doctor about pellet form
- 1:29Which is I think they put it under the skin and it kind of secretes it over like a six-month span
- 1:34Or TJ gel of my insurance was kind of just covered the injections
- 1:40But yeah, the biggest thing I've noticed is obviously now my facial hair
- 1:43It's huge changes since like the video I posted last year which blows my mind. This is taking me eight weeks to grow
- 1:49So I'm keeping it. I'm not shaving it
- 1:52But honestly didn't get chest hair even on testosterone, you know still don't have a lot of armpit hair
- 1:59It still can't grow full facial hair
- 2:01And my doctors basically said that you know your body is on your own biological clock
- 2:05It's doing its thing so remember guys testosterone does not necessarily
- 2:09Gonna change those things for you your body is on its own biological clock for some reason
- 2:16I'm turning 27 in July and I look like you know, I'm 18 19 years old
- 2:20That's just my genes my biology. It is the way it is lean muscle mass all that stuff
- 2:26I did notice a bit of change in muscle mass obviously when I got off testosterone kind of sucked my energy levels tank
- 2:34complete shit
- 2:35But honestly guys, it's really up to you. I just felt that I could do without it
- 2:41And I've been doing great without it my energy levels now are great. Obviously that comes down to diet exercise
- 2:47You know maintaining a healthy balance, but at the end of the day do what's best for you
- 2:51Obviously, I'm not a medical professional. So please do not take my advice go talk to your doctor
- 2:56But yeah, much love stay tuned
@tarzanofcali's penis shrinkage claim, fact-checked
Quick answer
Testosterone replacement therapy treats clinically diagnosed hypogonadism but doesn't increase adult penis size. Low testosterone can cause testicular atrophy, but TRT itself can worsen testicular shrinkage by suppressing natural hormone production.

Page-specific review note
What this exact clip is really saying
This FormBlends review is specific to "@tarzanofcali's penis shrinkage claim, fact-checked" from ezequieldecastilla. We read the clip as a TRT social video fact-checks claim about Testosterone, then separate the useful signal from what a short social video cannot prove. The page-specific claim focus is: Testosterone replacement therapy treats clinically diagnosed hypogonadism but doesn't increase adult penis size.
The reason this review is not generic is the source wording and the canonical claim label "trt my pp shrunk lowt natty fortheboys testosterone dela." In this clip, the useful excerpt is: "My guy guys one year update on testosterone now this video actually might come as a surprise to you because I Am no longer taking testosterone now for you probably wonder dude why you basically had the elixir of Masculinity in life at your..." That wording changes the review because it points to Testosterone evidence, safety, and patient-fit context, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
The source trail for this page is checked against Cardiovascular Safety of Testosterone-Replacement Therapy (2023), Testosterone therapy in men with androgen deficiency syndromes: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline (2010), and Functional testosterone deficiency in aging men: Clinical impact, diagnostic pathways, and treatment strategies (2026), plus the creator's own wording. Testosterone decisions still need an eligibility review, medication-interaction screen, access check, and quality-control review before anyone treats a social clip as medical advice.

What to do with this video
Use the clip as a claim to verify, not a treatment plan
What it helps with
- Testosterone replacement therapy treats clinically diagnosed hypogonadism but doesn't increase adult penis size. Low testosterone can cause testicular atrophy, but TRT itself can worsen testicular shrinkage by suppressing natural hormone production.
- Adult penis size doesn't change with testosterone levels once puberty is complete
- Testicular atrophy can occur with hypogonadism, affecting testicles rather than penis size
What it may miss
- It may not cover eligibility, contraindications, medication interactions, lab history, or dose escalation.
- Compound access, legal status, and product quality still need a separate safety check.
- Social video captions rarely show the full evidence base behind a claim.
Best next step
Compare the claim against a FormBlends guide, safety page, and licensed-provider review before acting.

Our take · Written by FormBlends editorial team · Reviewed by FormBlends Medical Team · This is not a transcript. It is our independent review of the video above.
What does this video actually claim?
@tarzanofcali claims his penis shrunk due to low testosterone, using the euphemistic "PP ShrUNk" in his caption. He connects this to delayed puberty and positions testosterone therapy as the solution for "the boys."
The video plays into common fears about testosterone deficiency causing genital atrophy. It's targeting young men concerned about masculinity and sexual development, using gym culture hashtags to reach that audience.
The creator doesn't specify whether he's talking about flaccid size, erect size, or testicular atrophy. This vagueness makes his claim harder to evaluate scientifically.
Does low testosterone actually shrink your penis?
Adult penis size doesn't change with testosterone levels once puberty is complete. The Endocrine Society's 2018 guidelines on testosterone therapy don't list penis shrinkage as a symptom of hypogonadism in adult men.
What can shrink are the testicles. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study found testicular volume decreases with age and lower testosterone, but this affects the testes, not the penis itself.
During puberty, testosterone does drive penile growth. Boys with delayed puberty may have smaller adult penis size if untreated, according to research by Mauras et al. in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (2001).
What about testicular atrophy?
This is where the creator might have a point, though he's confused about the anatomy. Testosterone deficiency can cause testicular shrinkage in adult men.
The European Association of Urology found that men with hypogonadism had average testicular volumes of 12-15ml compared to 20-25ml in healthy controls. That's a real and measurable difference.
Interestingly, testosterone replacement therapy can actually worsen testicular atrophy by suppressing natural production. The therapy treats symptoms but can make the underlying testicular shrinkage worse over time.
What did he get wrong about treatment?
The creator implies testosterone therapy will reverse genital shrinkage, but the evidence doesn't support this for adult men. TRT can improve libido and erectile function but won't change penis size.
For true testicular atrophy from hypogonadism, TRT actually makes the problem worse by shutting down the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Clomiphene citrate or hCG are better options for preserving testicular size.
The "natty" hashtag is also misleading if he's promoting testosterone therapy. Taking exogenous testosterone is literally the opposite of natural hormone optimization.
What should young men actually know?
Penis size anxiety is common but rarely reflects actual medical problems. True micropenis affects only 0.015% of men, according to Mondaini et al. in BJU International (2002).
If you're genuinely concerned about delayed puberty or small testicles, see an endocrinologist. They can measure actual testosterone levels and testicular volume rather than relying on TikTok symptoms.
Most importantly, don't start testosterone therapy based on size insecurity. The side effects include permanent testicular shrinkage, fertility problems, and cardiovascular risks that aren't worth it for cosmetic concerns.
Interested in GLP-1 or peptide therapy?
Get matched with licensed-provider review to help decide if it is right for you.
