The internet is full of "bro-science" on TRT, which doesn't help. Always refer to medical literature and qualified endocrinologists or urologists.

Some guys also think it's a quick fix for erectile dysfunction, but ED has many causes. While low T can contribute, it's not always the sole factor.

And some think TRT is a replacement for lifestyle changes. It's not. Optimal nutrition, exercise, and sleep are still foundational, even on TRT.

That's a big one! Current research largely refutes the idea that TRT *causes* prostate cancer. It can, however, accelerate the growth of *existing* prostate cancer, which is why screening is vital before and during therapy.

These are all excellent points to clarify! RecoveryRx, highlighting the medical necessity is crucial. What about the idea that TRT causes prostate cancer?
