Treating Low T: Safe & Effective Testosterone Therapy

[madman]

Have we been wrong about testosterone and prostate cancer all along? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, who pioneered the modern use of testosterone therapy, joins Dr. Amy Pearlman to discuss the evolving understanding of testosterone therapy in clinical practice and its implications on patient care.




SYNPOSIS

Dr. Morgentaler shares insights from his decades-long career, including his pivotal research that refuted the presumed harms of testosterone therapy and belief that it contributes to the development of prostate cancer. The conversation explores the evolution of testosterone therapy, its misunderstood role in prostate cancer, and the need for broader clinical recognition of testosterone deficiency. The discussion also explores potential future applications of testosterone therapy, including its role in perioperative optimization and the growing need for nuanced, evidence-based guidelines in men’s health care.

The majority of men can easily achieve a healthy let alone high trough FT injecting 100-150 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections!

Some can even achieve robust levels injecting <100 mg T/week split.

200 mg T/week for the MAJORITY OF MEN = OVERF**KING MEDICATED!

LMFAO!

Bump

Took my third shot on Friday. After a quick libido boost, it went dead and has been the last couple of days yesterday and today I’m much more irritable and moody, energy is pretty decent. I know it’s early but I’m already wondering if 120 a week is too much of a starting test and I should bump it down to 100.

As I stated previously the standard starting dose is 100 mg T/week which is a sensible starting dose for most!

Could name off numerous uros considered top of the field in this game where it is a common starting dose.

It's far from an ABSURD dose!

Can some men start...
