In this video, Ranjith Ramasamy, MD, explains that although testosterone therapy comes with risks, “these risks appear to be very, very small.”

“It is important for men to understand that testosterone is a steroid, it has the potential for abuse, but when given in the proper conditions for the proper indications of testosterone deficiency, then it certainly does not have to be used that way and doesn't have an abuse potential,” says Ranjith Ramasamy, MD, in this video.
