Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how testosterone implants affect the risk of polycythemia (high red blood cell count) in hypogonadal men compared to traditional injections.
- In 158 participants, higher testosterone levels and older age were associated with increased polycythemia, while smoking also showed a potential link.
- Results suggest that elevated testosterone levels, rather than the length of treatment, are significant predictors of polycythemia, and a relationship between testosterone and erythropoietin levels was noted.
