The video segment and news article notes:
'Doctors say there are two major side effects [to testosterone replacement therapy]. "One, it blocks the sperm production, especially for young men or men who wish to conceive in the future and are still interested in fertility and family building," said Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, director of reproductive urology at the University of Miami Health System.' 'Ramasamy said testosterone therapy also blocks any natural testosterone production. "[For young married men], you want to keep your options open (and) don't want to close off any avenues with your wife and your ability to have kids or not," he said.
But doctors are now studying a medication called Natesto, a nasal testosterone gel that does not appear to have the negative side effects.'
'The University of Miami Health System is the only location in the country studying Natesto. So far, 12 men have participated in the study and doctors say all of them have had promising results.
"We have so far found all the men on the nasal gel therapy for at least three months, they are very happy, testosterone levels have improved, and their sperm production is maintained," Ramasamy said.'
