Conclusion: Despite historical beliefs that TTh increases the risk of CV disease, thromboembolic events, BPH, and PCa, recent evidence suggests that TTh conveys less risk than previously perceived. While caution should continue to be exercised, evidence suggests that TTh is a reasonable treatment option in many hypogonadal men who were previously excluded from TTh based on risk factors and prior health histories.
