Dr. Paul Turek on KGO TV

The Truth About Testosterone

Dr. Paul Turek discusses the truth about testosterone on View From the Bay (KGO TV/Channel 7 San Francisco) and why testosterone is good for men and their relationships. Testosterone is the primary male sex steroid and is important for puberty, normal growth, reproductive function, sexual function, mood, intellect, and strong muscles and bones. Testosterone is an essential hormone for life.

Dr. Turek dispels some common myths regarding testosterone. For example, natural testosterone levels do not make men more aggressive or docile. High testosterone levels (or testosterone replacement) do not pose a greater risk of prostate cancer. Low levels of testosterone can lead to depression, but mood can be elevated by taking testosterone. Testosterone levels can be easily tested but need to be treated by a men's health specialist as they overlap with many other men's health issues.
