I understand the need. There are a lot of benefits from testosterone supplementation. The big factor is the risk of Prostate Cancer and BPH with testosterone supplementation. Whats your family history, are you African American. Just these two risk factors should be closely considered.

The other factor we need to consider is Statistical Insignificance. We do not have reliable numbers on whether testosterone supplementation causes prostate cancer. We do know that lower testosterone levels, in those that have a family history of prostate cancer, can decrease the incidence of prostate cancer.

Off the OP: I personally have a family history of prostate cancer. I also have a history of low testosterone levels. Right now I hover around 5 to 6 on the Gleason scale so no surgical intervention needed. For me to take testosterone supplementation at 72 years of age with prostate cancer is ludicrous. I do know it would increase my athletic performance, and my sexual drive, and my overall productivity. And at my age its a question of what would take me out first, other risk factors or cancer? Ha... Frankly I don't have the balls to do it...
