YouTube video (Anne Truong MD, uploaded Mar 6, 2024) explaining that, per the American Urologic Society guidelines, testosterone does not contribute to prostate cancer; notes a common side effect of testosterone therapy is increased red blood cell count (erythrocytosis) and advises treating this by donating blood (e.g., via the American Red Cross) to lower counts.

And just know that the American Urologic Society had come out with guidelines that said testosterone does not, and I emphasize, does not contribute to prostate cancer. But again, you need to get your blood level checked because one of the side effects of testosterone is high red blood cell count, which is called erythrocytosis. Go to American Red Cross and donate your blood, and that will lower it.
