Hi everyone,
I know that this post was from a few years ago and not a "medical study" in itself, I've just been barraged recently on facebook with advertisements for law firms wanting to sue doctors for prescribing testosterone since it leads to death and heart attacks/DVT. Now, obviously I'm fine right now and have no interest in lawsuits personally--but when you read the comments you see HUNDREDS of people on fb with real lives, real profiles , etc, who all know someone hospitalized from testosterone.
FDA warns about blood clot risk with testosterone products - Harvard Health Blog
This is a harvard article--and even in the comments you read about people dying or hospitalized in 30s -50s.
Now, I realize we would say this is unfounded fear mongering. i'm just wondering, where do these people, figures, ideas come from? And what's t he mechanism of death/damage here? Can this be prevented by monitoring the HCT as we do/responsible blood work? Part of me doesn't buy it, I know hard core steroid users on steroids longer than 3 years that aren't just dropping dead--hard to imagine 150mg a week of test doing this by itself. But on the other hand, I don't think all of these people are in a grand conspiracy to neuter us powerful optimized men, so what gives? Is this gonna kill me or not (joking, mostly) ?
