A bolus is a big lump of T that will release into your bloodstream over time."

The main risk of long term injectable T is developing polycythemia, which is a high increase of red blood cells. It can lead to clots which can cause the strokes and coronary syndromes you mentioned. It's usually treated by taking one baby aspirin per day and quitting smoking, if you smoke.

That was a perfect explanation and makes a ton of sense. Thanks!
