Is Testosterone Therapy Safe?

A good question, and here's the answer:

Using testosterone therapy can be very, very safe. The trick is how you administer the testosterone.

FACT: Between 20 and 50 percent of middle-aged men have testosterone deficiency.

Many of these middle-aged men get testosterone-replacement therapy, but this is the big question. Is it safe?

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic, in a meta-analysis that combined the results of 51 studies, concluded that testosterone supplements increase hematocrit and hemoglobin, which thickens the blood. It also decreases HDL cholesterol (the blood GOOD cholesterol).

They have established that testosterone therapy did NOT result in premature death, prostate disease, urological problems, heart attack, stroke, or increased risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Men can reduce the risk of thickening their blood by using testosterone creme. Unfortunately, injections cause “spikes in testosterone” that can stimulate the production of their red blood cells.

The results are right there in front of you. Testosterone therapy,in the form of crèmes, can benenefit many aging men. (Journal Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 95: 2560-2575, 2010)
