Sore throat after testosterone
December 18 2009, 6:42pm
I suffered throat pain and vocal exhaustion at certain points so far on T. I saw an ontolaryngologist and he saw that my vocal folds were quite swollen. He attributed this to testosterone. I'm writing an article for TransGuys.com right now on testosterone and singing, and one of the recommendations is to start on a lose dose of T because fast changes are not good for the larynx. The effects of T on a bio-male teen's voice are bad enough, but they are aggravated in trans men due in part to the relative speed of changes (compared to a bio-male teen.)Read more comments by Joshua Riverdale
