“Carefully selected” for testosterone therapy

Not just lab numbers. Doctors consider health, follow-up reliability, and understanding risks and benefits. Testosterone therapy requires monitoring. Skipping labs is a red flag.

The takeaway isn’t to guess.
It’s to talk to a doctor you trust.

One of the biggest concerns after a prostate cancer diagnosis is side effects.

Stanford urologist Geoffrey Sonn explains the difference between whole-gland treatment and focal therapy and why, when cancer is confined, treating only part of the prostate may be considered to help reduce side effects.

Unlike surgery, it does not involve cuts through the skin. Fewer incisions may mean less short-term pain and faster early recovery for some men.

This is one option among many. Prostate cancer treatment is never one-size-fits-all.

Community isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s part of staying alive.

Loneliness increases the risk of disease and early death — especially for men under stress or facing illness.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Start by talking with someone you trust.

Get checked before there’s a problem.

When prostate cancer involves the nerves, nerve-sparing surgery may not be safe.

MRI and pathology help show when cancer is pressing against or beyond the prostate. Trying to spare nerves in those cases can raise the risk of leaving cancer behind.

Men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer often fall into two extremes, according to Dr. Jonathan Pavlinec, MD.

Some want immediate aggressive treatment. Others read online that “most men don’t die from it” and assume they can ignore it. As he explains, the right answer is usually in the middle.

FDA panel calls to loosen restrictions on testosterone replacement therapy The drugs have soared in popularity, with some men taking them for unapproved uses like anti-aging or increasing muscle mass.

An FDA panel just recommended easing restrictions on testosterone therapy. It may help some men — but not all. Skip the pop-up “T clinics” — see a urologist, get proper testing, and ask questions (pros & cons) before starting anything.
