A clinic treated a fatigued 41-year-old with testosterone. A month later he had a stroke.

You really don’t think shittily managed trt can stress the cardiovascular system causing problems? Hell dudes on here are some good ER customers. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

There is no ANY indication in the article his TRT was "mismanaged", his CE happened in one month after the start of the TRT. Simply fake news.
 
This man is hugely overweight and is related to his poor lifestyle, this was likely a factor in his stroke, TRT just exacerbated a condition brought on by his obesity and poor lifestyle choices.

He probably sits down all day at work and lives a sedentary lifestyle. The News is always trying to grab headlines with negatively to get noticed. He more than likely wasn't properly elevaulated, this guy probably has low SHBG and was more than likely prescribe a massive dosage once weekly.

The article mentions he had "normal levels", I wonder what they mean by "normal", 300 ng/dL?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
