WHAT AGE IS SAFE TO START TESTOSTERONE THERAPY? Dr. Thomas O'Connor Explains It In Detail

A 79-year-old man asks Dr. Thomas O’Connor if there is an age where testosterone therapy is no longer safe, especially with a history of multiple myeloma. In this Ask The Testosteronologist® video, Dr. O’Connor explains why age alone should not determine whether a man can start testosterone therapy. Instead, the decision must be based on a full medical evaluation, including blood counts, anemia, kidney function, cardiovascular risk, prostate health, cancer history, medications, and overall health status. Dr. O’Connor also discusses why older men need careful clinical oversight before starting TRT, especially when there is a complex medical history such as prior multiple myeloma. He reviews why a knowledgeable physician should evaluate the full picture rather than treating testosterone as a simple clinic prescription. Topics discussed include: • Is there an age limit for testosterone therapy? • Testosterone therapy in older men • TRT and anemia considerations • Why hematocrit, hemoglobin, and kidney function matter • Testosterone therapy after a history of multiple myeloma • Why prostate, cardiovascular, and cancer history must be reviewed • Testosterone options including injections, gels, oral testosterone, pellets, and long-acting testosterone undecanoate This video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
