What Size Needle Do I Need For A TRT Injection?
About this video
In this short clinic explainer, Gillett contrasts the larger syringes and less frequent injections he says are common in some testosterone clinics with the smaller insulin-type syringes his practice often uses. He argues smaller subcutaneous approaches can be less painful, can be done at home, and may produce steadier blood levels because fatty tissue has less blood supply, while also allowing more precise measurement for individualized treatment. He uses humor about oversized syringes to make the contrast memorable. The video is presented as general education about equipment choices and trade-offs, not as a substitute for individualized medical supervision.
Key takeaways
- Syringe and needle choice affects pain, precision and patient experience, Gillett argues
- He presents subcutaneous delivery as one option with steadier-level trade-offs to discuss
- Less frequent clinic injections and home approaches involve different burdens and controls
- Individualized treatment requires clinician input rather than copying another clinic’s setup
- Equipment should match the clinical goal, not habit or clinic convenience
