Depends : If your testosterone levels are low w/o HRT you may want to consider replacement. HRT can improve mood, energy, libido, and muscle mass retention. Down side are increased cardiovascular risk factors related to increased clotting. Discuss pros and cons with your urologist or PCP so you can make an informed decision.
