In Some Men, Testosterone Therapy Might Reduce Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke

Over the last couple of years, there has been a lot of buzz about the safety of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for the treatment of low testosterone. But new research suggests that TRT could be beneficial, at least for some men. 

Men's testosterone levels naturally decline as they get older. This drop often leads to weakness, fatigue, and low libido. Some doctors prescribe TRT, but there have been concerns about the therapy's possible link to heart attacks and strokes. 

Recently, scientists investigated TRT with 755 older men who had both low testosterone and coronary artery disease. They found that stroke, heart attack, and death were less common in men who took testosterone compared to men who didn't receive treatment.

More research is still needed. Click here to find out more.

Treating an Enlarged Prostate: Two Drugs are Better Than One

Many men with an enlarged prostate (also called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) have trouble urinating. Often, a doctor will prescribe one of two types of medications to treat this symptom.

It's also possible to take both types of drugs at the same time, an approach called combination therapy. In fact, past research has shown that combination therapy is more effective than taking just one drug. 

But a recent study revealed that only 12% of participants taking medication for an enlarged prostate received combination therapy.

What should men do? Get the details here.
