Is Bottom Growth Permanent After Stopping Testosterone?
Clinical guidance generally treats clitoral growth from testosterone as permanent. Do not start T on the assumption that stopping later will reverse that change.
Updated
Trans Care BC's testosterone information describes genital growth as a likely permanent effect. Your prescriber can discuss what that means for your goals before treatment.
Separate growth from changes in fullness
Arousal and pumping can change how full tissue appears temporarily. A difference in fullness after stopping pumping is not the same question as reversing growth associated with testosterone.
Our article about breaks from pumping covers that distinction. Neither a single photograph nor a measurement taken under different conditions can establish tissue loss.
Discuss uncertainty before changing treatment
If you want some testosterone effects but are unsure about genital changes, bring that concern to your clinician. A lower dose does not reliably isolate the effects you want or make them all reversible.
If you are already taking T, discuss stopping or changing the regimen with the prescriber rather than following a schedule from a forum. Your wider health and treatment history matter.
