Who Should Avoid Testosterone Therapy?

While optimal testosterone levels can benefit most men, there are certain cases where starting testosterone therapy (TRT) isn’t the right move—at least not immediately. Here’s who should approach TRT with caution: ✅ Younger Men Building a Family: Testosterone can impact fertility, so alternatives like HCG may be better in these cases. ✅ Smokers: Smoking can increase the risks associated with TRT. ✅ Active Prostate Cancer Workups: Those undergoing prostate cancer treatment or evaluation should defer TRT to specialists. ✅ History of Blood Clots (Coagulopathy): If you’ve had a blood clot in your leg or lung, TRT isn’t recommended until the underlying cause is identified and managed. ✅ Active Prostate Cancer: While some specialists (like Dr. Morgenthaler) may manage TRT alongside prostate cancer treatment, it’s a decision best left to experts. ⚠️ Pro Tip: If you have a history of blood clots, discuss TRT with a hematologist to ensure it’s safe for you. Testosterone itself isn’t thromboembolic, but thorough evaluation is key. 👉 Have questions about TRT and your health?
