Why is the use of androgen replacement therapy considered controversial?
What will be an ideal response?
The use of androgen replacement therapy is controversial due to possible risks and limited long-term studies (Pines, 2010; Wu et al., 2010). One of the largest controversies revolves around the risks involved in taking testosterone, especially the possibility of an increased risk for prostate cancer, although there has been no evidence to support this risk (Bassil & Morley, 2010). even so, androgen replacement therapy is commonly used in the United States today (Cunningham & Toma, 2011).
