Testosterone Injury Lawyers

Testosterone is a male hormone that is prescribed by medical professionals to resolve specific physical problems, such as diminished sex drive and bone mass.

According to Medical News Today, it has also been used to treat conditions such as changes in mood, reduced cognitive abilities, fatigue, depression and anger, skin alterations, and increases in abdominal fat mass. The same source notes that prescriptions for testosterone increased by over 170 percent in a five-year period.

An article published by Harvard Medical School revealed that millions of men in the USA have been prescribed a testosterone gel or injection. An advertising campaign promoting the use of the hormone and its benefits has led many men to “ask your doctor” and request a prescription to treat “low T.” Many of these men have developed serious health conditions that are now associated with the use of the testosterone.

Increased Risk of Heart Attack

The consequences of a heart attack can change a life forever. A once healthy man can face very significant injuries, including damaged organs, blood clots, decreased blood flow, heart failure, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, and many other serious health problems associated with reduced blood flow, including the possibility of death.

Increased Risk of Stroke

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and leading cause of adult disability in the U.S., according to the American Stroke Association. A stroke takes place when an artery or blood vessel has become blocked or bursts, and the brain does not get the oxygen it needs. The consequences of a stroke can be very significant, affecting motor skills, speech, control of facial muscles, or death. Testosterone has been linked with an increased risk of stroke in some patients.
