Does anyone know of any links, videos or published debates regarding the appropriate use and/or misuse of HRT/TRT?
It became pretty clear to me early on when researching HRT that there are two schools of thought when it comes to how treatment should be administered and to whom. With LowT clinics and 'aging centers' popping up all over the place, I assume that these dissimilar views have been subject to some form of open discussion.
For example, Dr. A thinks that putting someone in the high-end of a range (which they admit is not historically static and pretty much dictated by insurance companies) just to try and increase mood or quality of life is "bad medicine" while Dr. B basically says 'whatever ... there is no research to back the negativity and it makes peoples life's better, so pin up!'.
Just curious ... all I have ever been able to find are doctors trashing each other and a bunch of negative media/stereotypes/misinformation.
I realize that many of those receiving TRT/HRT have pretty much blown themselves out and do this because you have to, and even though that's not my situation, I would still be interested in thoughts from that group. Thanks!
