No free lunch: Always keep in mind that there is no such thing as a free lunch. As a corollary, no diagnostic test, surgical procedure or even medication is without risk. It's up to you & your family doc to decide if said potential risk is greater than hope for benefit. If so, don't do it. Regarding testosterone, think of Goldilocks. Not enough is bad but too much is also risky. Work w/your doc to get it right.
