Doctors used to say testosterone therapy was too risky for the heart, but after a big study in 2023, they changed their mind — now they think it’s safe for most people, so they stopped putting warning labels on it and instead decide case by case if it’s right for you.

Giving men the right amount of testosterone to bring their levels back to normal doesn’t make their heart worse — and might even help their metabolism and blood sugar.

Studies with lots of people and strict methods show that giving men testosterone at normal body levels doesn’t make them more likely to die or have serious heart problems.

Doctors aren't sure if taking testosterone helps or hurts your heart, because some recent studies say it’s risky and others say it’s fine.

Giving testosterone to older men with low levels doesn’t seem to make their heart problems worse, but it also might slightly increase the risk — so we can’t say for sure if it’s completely safe for the heart.

Men between 55 and 67 who take testosterone therapy may be 13% less likely to die from heart disease than men who don’t take it, based on a long-term study tracking them for 18 years.
