In this brief segment, Dr. Anne Truong explains that low testosterone levels contribute to prostate enlargement, especially as men age. She notes that testosterone replacement can cause the prostate to shrink slightly and stabilize in size. While not all men develop a markedly enlarged prostate, those whose enlargement becomes symptomatic are managed with a specific clinical protocol.

Prostate enlarges also when you have low testosterone. When your testosterone level is low, it will also affect the size of the prostate as well. That's why when men get older, the prostate enlarges, and then when they're on testosterone, the prostate shrinks a little bit and stabilizes. So not everyone has a super enlarged prostate either, but when it's enlarged enough to affect you, we have the protocol for that.
