As far as I’m aware, studies specifically looking at the effects of DHT in trans men don’t exist. The closest and most reputable clinical studies to this would be the use of DHT in people with micropenises. Aside from that the only information specific to trans men would be anecdotes from people who have used DHT and the research they’ve done to educate themselves or their doctors. Surgeons who perform metoidioplasty often recommend their patients use DHT 3 months prior to their surgery, so you may have more luck reaching out to those surgeons for resources or having your doctor set aside time to talk with them.

In a way it was both of those motivations. I was still in the beginning stages of my surgical research, my dysphoria was still focused primarily on other parts of my body, and all I knew was that what I had wasn’t enough for me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted bottom surgery or what kind I would get if I did move forward with that so I used DHT to help ease my dysphoria in the moment. The way I saw it was that if I ended up wanting metoidioplasty then I was prepared for it, if I ended up wanting phalloplasty then it would help tide me over until I could have it, and if I decided not to have bottom surgery then I’d be happier with my results than I’d be with what I had before DHT.

I don’t have a list like this, no. To create that list I would need to look at importation regulations for each of the 196 countries in the world and would have to stay up to date on the policies as they change. It’s just not feasible for one person to do that. To find out if it’s illegal to import Andractim into your country you would need to look up the importation laws specific to that country regarding testosterone. You can typically find this listed under the regulations surrounding steroid importation and exportation.

This post discusses why I recommend waiting 2 years before using DHT. If you read the reasoning within that post I think you’ll be able to gather an answer. I’m pointing you in that direction rather than answering directly because I think people should understand why these recommendations exist. I’d rather have you make a decision knowing as much as you can than to have you take an answer with no explanation as the ultimate truth.

Expiration dates vary based on how the product was manufactured and under what conditions it’s kept in (extreme cold, extreme heat, room temperature, etc). I received mine in July of 2013 and the expiration date was July of 2017, therefore that particular clinic’s product lasts 4 years. If you’re using a different compounding clinic then you should contact them and ask what how long their product lasts before expiring.

DHT is not necessary for most people. Testosterone, and the DHT that is naturally converted from testosterone, does a remarkable job filling the androgen receptors in your genitalia necessary to produce genital growth. This is why I heavily stress that you should not use DHT until you are at least 2 years on testosterone. It should be seen as a last resort to possibly further genital growth and not a product to be used pre-T or early on in your transition. Using it pre-T can actually be quite dangerous. It’s most often used in the 3 months leading up to metoidioplasty to ensure any potential remaining growth has been achieved, though many people report no noticeable effect because testosterone allowed them to achieve their full size. You’ll likely end up paying $800 (not counting the money spent on doctor visits to get the prescription, to do more bloodwork, etc) for the same amount of growth that you’d achieve from simply being on testosterone. It arguably doesn’t make sense financially and just puts your body and endocrine system through unnecessary stress which can negatively impact your health. It’s also dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing or don’t get your hormones monitored regularly while using it. Hormones are not something to take lightly. After two years, when genital growth from testosterone tends to be considered ‘maxed out’, if you’re still unsatisfied then I’d recommend moving forward with DHT. However I will stress once more that it will only increase your size if being on testosterone hasn’t already filled the androgen receptors in your genitalia. It will not increase your size beyond that limit and for most people testosterone alone is enough to reach that point.If you’re still interested in DHT after that time has passed then you’ll only need a 3 month supply. Results from DHT use max out after 3 months with the majority of results occurring within the first 6 weeks. A few people have done a second round of the product to see if their results would improve any further and so far no one has achieved any additional results beyond 3 months of using the product. The specific quantity of DHT necessary to last 3 months is difficult to determine because there is no concrete evidence of a particular concentration or dose being more effective than another. In my experience 80g at a 2.5% concentration lasted three months. Another person I know had his compounded at a higher concentration and only needed 5.5g at a 10% concentration. With that in mind we could argue that 250g would only be necessary if the product had a very low concentration of DHT.

Hey there, Cam. It sounds like your doctor wrote a prescription based on old information about DHT that can be found online. That information was written over 7 years ago and is now extremely outdated. Since then production of DHT in most of the world has stopped. All Saints Clinic is the only pharmacy I’m aware of that still produces it. When it was still manufactured in North America some compounding pharmacies did specialized compounds to produce a higher concentration and take out the alcohol but All Saints does not provide those options. There is only one product available, Andractim, and it is a 2.5% concentration of DHT in an alcohol-based gel.
