These three conditions are all related to an increased number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bloodstream, but they have different causes, risks, and implications—especially for men on TRT. Erythrocytosis Erythrocytosis refers to an elevated red blood cell count (or hematocrit) due to increased erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). This condition can be caused […]

Introduction The interplay between obesity, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and brain health has garnered significant attention in recent years. Obesity and hypogonadism (low testosterone), both of which are common in older men, are associated with cognitive decline. This review aims to synthesize current research findings on how TRT, when combined with lifestyle interventions, affects cognitive […]
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is primarily used to address symptoms of testosterone deficiency, such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and depressed mood. This is done by increasing serum testosterone levels to a physiological range (1). The impact of TRT on mood has been extensively studied, with mixed results regarding its potential to cause mood swings. […]
