In part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Chhaya Makhija continues her discussion with urologist and men’s health expert Dr. Justin Dubin, shifting the focus from diagnosing low testosterone to what treatment actually looks like.
Dr. Dubin walks through how physicians approach testosterone therapy and what factors matter when deciding if it’s the right option. The conversation also touches on common misconceptions about testosterone, concerns about heart health and prostate cancer, and the growing influence of social media on how younger men think about testosterone therapy.
They wrap up with a discussion on HCG therapy, which may help stimulate natural testosterone production and support fertility in certain cases.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. Understanding the options and having open conversations with your physician can help patients make informed decisions about their health.
