Long-term effects of testosterone therapy on prostate volume and LUTS in hypogonadal men: a retrospective study

Participants contributed 3745 visits (median 7 per man), including 904 (24%) after testosterone initiation. TRT was associated with a mean increase in prostate growth rate of 0.22 mL/year compared with untreated periods (p = 0.023). No significant differences were observed in LUTS, QoL, or s-PSA between treated and untreated periods Conclusion: In ageing males with late-onset hypogonadism, testosterone replacement therapy was linked to a small but statistically significant increase in prostate growth rate without measurable effects on urinary symptoms.

Abstract

Participants contributed 3745 visits (median 7 per man), including 904 (24%) after testosterone initiation. TRT was associated with a mean increase in prostate growth rate of 0.22 mL/year compared with untreated periods (p = 0.023). No significant differences were observed in LUTS, QoL, or s-PSA between treated and untreated periods Conclusion: In ageing males with late-onset hypogonadism, testosterone replacement therapy was linked to a small but statistically significant increase in prostate growth rate without measurable effects on urinary symptoms.
