Abstract in brief

The aging population is expected to lead to a rise in cases of late onset hypogonadism among men, a condition that is frequently not diagnosed or treated.
The prescription of testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT) requires both low testosterone levels and symptoms of hypogonadism, and while TRT may provide numerous benefits like improved sexual function and mood, there is ongoing debate about its safety, particularly regarding its potential link to prostate cancer.
