Why are celebrities talking about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? TRT explained with medical criteria, risks, and misconceptions.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is prescribed for men with clinically confirmed testosterone deficiency (male hypogonadism). Public discussion, including celebrity endorsements, has increased awareness but also confusion about who actually qualifies for treatment. This episode explains the medical criteria for TRT and separates evidence from hype.

You will learn:

• What testosterone deficiency is and how it is diagnosed

• Why symptoms alone are not enough without repeated morning blood tests

• The difference between medically supervised TRT and non-medical hormone use

• Cardiovascular, prostate, and fertility considerations before starting therapy

• Potential risks (polycythaemia, infertility, sleep apnoea worsening, fluid retention)

• When TRT may be declined (normal testosterone levels, high cardiovascular risk, active prostate cancer, untreated sleep apnoea)

We also explain why social media narratives can oversimplify complex endocrine decisions and why personalised medical assessment is essential under European clinical standards.

This episode is educational and does not replace specialist endocrine or urology care.
