Does everyone who gets the testosterone shots grow more body hair?

No, it doesn't necessarily happen to everyone, but it is a possible side effect of it, because Testosterone is what affects the growth of body hair, especially in men.

Normally, you'd see a sudden surge in it, when you first start getting the shots, but it should eventually taper off and level out, just as it would if you were producing it normally.

However, if you feel that it's excessive, then you should consult your doctor about it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
