Testosterone tablets?

I have been taking testosterone for a year and lately, I have been sweating in the groin area. This causes very bad burning almost like a scald, I wonder if the tablets can cause this.

It could be the effexor that's causing it. Talk with your doctor to explore further options to managing your night sweats
Although all medicines have caused side effects of one sort or another for someone, it is unlikely that testosterone tablets would result in sweating and discomfort in the groin. You should see your family doctor to be checked for fungal or other infection in the groin.
