Contraindications to testosterone therapy
The main contraindications to testosterone therapy (T therapy) are:1
An unevaluated prostate nodule or induration, or raised prostate specific antigen (PSA), should be fully investigated prior to starting T therapy.
Untreated sleep apnoea and severe LUTS have previously been considered contraindications to T Therapy, but more recent evidence suggests this may no longer be the case.2 These conditions should however, be fully investigated and optimally manged before starting treatment with testosterone.
