ABSTRACT
Due to prolonged life expectancy, people's requirements for quality of life are also increasing. As a protein anabolic hormone, testosterone not only improves muscle and bone health, but also improves energy and sexual function. It is widely used in middle-aged and elderly people, especially in patients with delayed-onset hypogonadism( LOH). However, as several clinical studies have found that testosterone supplementation increases cardiovascular risk, the use of testosterone decreased sharply, and some patients who require testosterone therapy thus do not receive treatment timely. This article summarizes the current clinical research results and analyzes the dilemma of testosterone supplementation therapy.
