Is this normal on ADT? Body hair gone

Scott, Food for thought: once you’re off Orgovyx for six months and have a track record of your PSA and testosterone level and I suggest you consider going to a men’s sexual health expert. The one I went to told me that if my PSA remained undetectable six months to a year after stopping ADT we could consider hormone replacement therapy. My main concern is no longer about recovering sexual function, although that’s certainly on the list. My top concerns are reversing bone loss, muscle loss, fatigue, and mild depression.

I saw a sexual health doctor and he has me scheduled for testosterone tests starting in November which will be one month after ADT concludes. Unfortunately, he said that my testes had atrophied more than usual and that there was a "good chance" (I couldn't get him to give a percentage) that my testosterone will never recover but that TRT replacement therapy can be considered two years after stopping ADT.
That's a LONG way away so was kind of a possible setback, but I'm still going to hope for the best and, once ADT is finished, keep working out a lot, start taking zinc, and eat a lot of oysters.
