Ok clearly you are a drug rep for T medication. Heart attack and stroke are known side effects of Testosterone supplementation. They cause fluid retention and increased cardiovascular preload. [/quote]

I was told by my doctor that if you, as a female, take testosterone you might, especially if you take too much, start having risk factors for heart attack and stroke that are closer to what men have.
But when a woman takes birth control her risks for heart attack and stroke go up too, as it does also when you are menopausal and have no hormones (osteoporosis too).

You have to discuss the costs and benefits given your health history with an intelligent doctor.

And I feel a little bad for the men with their natural risk factors. [/quote]

PP here (the one accused of being a rep for a T med).  This is correct.  Monitoring is very important, for women and men on the drug.  I've never heard of a doctor prescribing it and not doing regular blood work to make sure the levels don't exceed the normal range, although I'm sure there are some who do.  Taking too much often has nasty side effects beyond the cardiovascular risks, although to be fair, this is the case with just about any medication on the market.  [/quote]
