[QUOTE="SilverSurfer, post: 164662, member: 38241"] The consensus seems to be that at worst VTE is slightly elevated for the first 6 months of testosterone therapy. Many other studies either show no risk or statistical irrelevance. What this study does not establish is if it is causation or correlation. Ie...what underlying health issues / disease was causing the hypogonadism in the first place, and what effect, if any, would that have on VTE incidents. With medical studies you need to evaluate the entire body of evidence. If you’re hypogonadal and start testosterone there may be some risks associated with that. However, not treating your hypogonadism also comes with risks. As with everything in life.....your mileage may vary.
