Why Do Medical doctors Hate Testosterone?
By George Touliatos, MD
I want all males with TT<500 might use TRT. Males change into fragile as they age due to this and low T equals sluggish demise.
It’s a truth these days that the medical group just isn’t keen on the primary androgen. Each endocrinologists and urologists are attempting to keep away from prescribing testosterone throughout its deficiencies. They’re actually terrified and attempt to present different therapies. As an illustration, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) or SERMs and even hCG to kick HPTA, despite the fact that complete testosterone (TT) is manner under the boundaries (TT<300ng). This protocol may work for a quick time period, nevertheless it’s extremely unlikely to remain inside eugonadal ranges below aggravating circumstances. Whereas urologists are suggesting the usage of PDE5 inhibitors like tadalafil and sildenafil, for example. That, after all, simply supplies a blood move to the penis and doesn’t repair hormonal ranges.
There was a case the place I had a battle with colleagues as as to if testosterone substitute remedy (TRT) was compulsory in middle-aged sufferers with ranges of an 80-year-old man. They aren’t handled and later develop weight problems and insulin resistance, ultimately resulting in sort 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Together with despair, fatigue, and erectile dysfunction, after all. So, my guess is that they might be frightened due to the next causes:
1) The unhealthy fame that testosterone has unfold among the many bodybuilding group and sports activities basically. They wrongly think about it as an anabolic. Nonetheless, testosterone is the primary androgen with anabolic properties.
2) As my buddy Rick Collins, Esq., the authorized boss of the health business explains, testosterone is demonized by all due to its stigma in sports activities and it’s linked to dishonest (not truthful play). After all, it is a very generalized and old school notion that negatively influences society.

3) Maybe the medical world is aware of the efficiency of testosterone and the way efficient remedy will be. It heals hypogonadism, fatigue, despair, dyslipidemia, erectile dysfunction, lack of libido, sort 2 diabetes, osteopenia and even arthritis. Therefore, Large Pharma and docs might declare that testosterone is the surprise drug that will simply smash the incomes of many drugs together with SSRIs, semaglutide, EPO, metformin, tadalafil, and statins. Furthermore, a affected person who undergoes TRT is popping into an “A male,” and physicians are dropping him as a affected person.
4) The social requirements of the twenty first century. Males usually tend to be much less masculine and extra female with decrease testosterone ranges. The bottom ranges within the final many years have dropped from 400 => 200 and in an effort to be thought of as hypogonadal, you could attain pathetic ranges of TESTOSTERONE.
5) Worry and prejudice popping out of ignorance and lack of expertise. It’s a truth that the majority endocrinologists are coping with thyroid points and diabetes, and being testosterone poor isn’t amongst their priorities. It’s a taboo topic as an alternative, the identical for urologists who wrongly affiliate testosterone with prostate most cancers.
I’m hoping that males will loosen up and be woke up at some point. As a medical physician, I want all males with TT<500 might use TRT. Males change into fragile as they age due to this and low T equals sluggish demise.
