Popis:	Prescriptions for testosterone therapy (TT) to treat testosterone deficiency have increased in recent years. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the risks of several treatment modalities to better counsel patients. Both short-acting and long-acting TT has been shown to restore normal serum testosterone levels and improve symptoms of testosterone deficiency. Short-acting pharmacology mimics normal physiology more closely than long-acting TT but requires multiple doses per day. Long-acting TT has a higher rate of patient adherence but is more likely to create supraphysiologic serum testosterone and pathologic sequelae.
