Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Hypogonadal Males
Using TRT is associated with moderately lower rates of mortality, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and prostate cancer in hypogonadal men versus no TRT. There is potential for missed cases of stroke, prostate cancer, and cardiovascular disease incidence not captured by the database. As prescriptions of TRT increase, understanding risks and benefits will help guide future practice.
