Hi

I started testosterone in December, going down to one pea sized dose every other day as I was too angry on once a day! Anyhow I don't know whether it's a coincidence but in the last two weeks I have been a bit hoarse, and I feel like my voice box at the front of my throat is swollen and when I swallow I am aware of it . I am not a hypochondriac by disposition and love the testosterone but am worried this is the cause as I have no temperature; my lymph's aren't up and I feel otherwise fine! Has anyone else heard of this or had any problems. I am scared to go to the doctor as they'll say come off the testosterone; it was a mission to get. Thanks.

Any hints in the leaflet in the box?

I have an irritating cough due to reflux  , fortunately it doesn't affect me in the night when laying down but by mid-morning I'm coughing and throat clearing

It could be so many things, bit of a sore throat, maybe you have strained your voice? I wouldnt be thinking at this point it's something to do with the testosterone.

Only other possibility is that hypothyroidism can cause a hoarse voice. My mum says she can always tell when I’m not right due to my voice on the phone!

You should be due a test soon? It might be worth booking that in to check you’re not over recommended female levels
