💉 How to Inject Testosterone Subcutaneously (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’re on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), subcutaneous injections are a clean, effective, and often more comfortable way to administer your medication. This video walks you through the entire process — from setup and sanitation to injection technique and aftercare.

🧴 Supplies You’ll Need:

Testosterone vial

1 mL (up to 3 mL) syringe with a 27 gauge, ½-inch needle

Alcohol prep pads

Sterile gauze or bandage (optional)

Sharps disposal container

🔹 Step 1: Wash and Sanitize

Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.

Clean your workspace with alcohol or disinfectant wipes.

Lay out all your supplies on a clean, flat surface.

🔹 Step 2: Prepare the Testosterone

Remove the cap from the vial and wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol pad.

Pull air into your syringe equal to your prescribed dose.

Insert the needle into the vial, push in the air, and slowly draw out the testosterone.

Tap the syringe gently to remove any bubbles, then recap the needle.

🔹 Step 3: Choose an Injection Site

Common areas for subcutaneous injections include:

The lower abdomen (at least 2 inches away from the belly button).

The outer thigh, in the fatty layer beneath the skin.
Avoid bruised or irritated areas, and always rotate sites between injections.

🔹 Step 4: Inject the Testosterone

Clean your chosen site with an alcohol pad and let it dry.

Pinch the skin gently to form a small fold.

Insert the needle at a 45- to 90-degree angle into the fatty tissue.

Slowly push the plunger to deliver the medication.

Withdraw the needle smoothly and apply light pressure with gauze if needed.

🔹 Step 5: Dispose and Aftercare

Dispose of your syringe and needle immediately in a sharps container.

Never reuse or share needles.

If slight soreness occurs, use a cold compress for relief.

Store your testosterone properly, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

💬 Final Notes

Subcutaneous testosterone injections help maintain more stable hormone levels and reduce discomfort compared to intramuscular methods. Always follow your provider’s dosing schedule and contact them if you experience pain, redness, or irritation.
