A member asked:
Is short term testosterone therapy prescribed to restore normal testosterone production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Testosterone therapy only DECREASES your own testosterone production. Depending upon the dose and duration of therapy, your normal levels (as well as fertility) may never return to what they were before. It's a silly idea. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.
