In this episode we discuss testosterone replacement therapy.  The internet is full of ads for testosterone treatments.  These ads claim that supplemental testosterone can make men look better, feel better, and even perform better in bed.  But are all these claims true?  Which men can actually benefit from testosterone replacement therapy?  What are the risks?  And how much benefit can men realistically expect from the medication?  In order to answer these questions, we turned to an expert on testosterone replacement therapy in men.  Dr Amy Pearlman is an assistant clinical professor of Urology at the University of Iowa.  Dr Pearlman earned her medical degree from the Baylor College of Medicine and then completed her residence training in Urology at the University of Pennsylvania.  She subsequently completed a fellowship in urologic reconstruction, prosthetic urology and infertility at Wake Forest University.
