Since Testosterone is the primary male androgen, we should also expect to see pronounced androgenic side effects with Testosterone cypionate. Much intensity is related to the rate in which the body converts Testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This, as you know, is the devious metabolite responsible for the high prominence of androgenic side effects associated with Testosterone use.
Side effects of Testosterone cypionate includes the development of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and male pattern balding. Those worried that they may have a genetic predisposition toward male pattern baldness may wish to avoid Testosterone altogether. Others opt to add to Testosterone cypionate the ancillary drug Propecia, which is a relatively new compound that prevents the conversion of Testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. This can greatly reduce the chance for running into a hair loss problem, and will probably lower the intensity of other androgenic Testosterone side effects.
The following side effects may go away as your body becomes used to the medicine;
Men: breast enlargement, frequent or continuing erection of penis lasting up to four hours or painful penile erections lasting longer than four hours (priapism), difficulty obtaining an erection (erectile dysfunction or impotence), low sperm count, frequent urge to urinate.
Pre-pubertal boys: acne, early growth of pubic hair, enlargement of penis, frequent or continuing erections.
Women: enlargement of the clitoris, hoarseness or deepening of voice, unnatural hair growth.
