Reading Time: 3 minutes DEAR DOCTOR K: I'm a 75-year-old man who recently underwent prostate cancer surgery. I've begun to have what I think are hot flashes. I'm baffled because I felt hot flashes were a female problem. Could I have male hot flashes? DEAR READER: In short, the answer is yes. As with hot flashes in women, sex hormones are to blame.

More specifically, declining testosterone levels can lead to hot flashes in men. In women, estrogen levels drop dramatically … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutes The reversal of Roe V. Wade has led to a dramatic increase in interest regarding Vasectomies. In an America where millions of women find it increasingly difficult to get an abortion, many men are taking it into their own hands to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Stop me if you've heard this one before: Fighters who are affected by last week's Nevada Athletic Commission to ban the usage of testosterone replacement therapy are in trouble. Where they were once handed a golden ticket that allowed what amounted to legalized cheating, fighters who have relied on TRT will now have to compete without it. Legally, anyway; the likelihood of every single figher with aTRT exemptionsimply opting to fight clean, without any drugs in their system, is slim to none. They'll just figure better ways around it, at least until Nevada and other states start conducting truly random … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Youve likely heard the term Low-T or seen an advertisement talking about how testosterone declines as men age and how the solution is taking a testosterone replacement.

Reading Time: 5 minutes Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. Paracelsus As with any medical intervention, the benefits of Low T therapy must be weighed against the potential risk of adverse reactions or side effects of testosterone replacement therapy. Just as Paracelsus says in the quote above, whether testosterone replacement creates a poisonous or beneficial environment is largely dependent upon how the medication is delivered and dosed. Those who abuse testosterone and other androgens may experience significant and even life threatening side effects. Somewhat similarly, if treatment of Low T … Read more »
