CAN T CAUSE BLOOD CLOTS?

-

A warning to men under 65: A JAMA Internal Medicine study found that men on testostero­ne therapy are about twice as likely to suffer a deep vein blood clot versus before treatment, even if it’s for hypogonadi­sm, a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough T. The odds go up if you’re under 65. Some think testostero­ne may thicken blood and increase the number of cells that help with clotting. Think hard before taking T to reverse the symptoms of aging.
