Social Media Misinformation Sparks Unnecessary NHS Testosterone Treatments
Social media misinformation is leading men to seek unnecessary NHS testosterone treatments, increasing pressure on healthcare services. Viral videos and influencer promotions encourage men to get blood tests and treatment for low energy, libido, and aging signs, despite medical guidelines restricting TRT to those with proven deficiencies. Experts warn that unnecessary testosterone use can cause serious health issues and that many clinics are improperly prescribing it, often influenced by social media promotions and private clinics, raising concerns about regulation and patient safety.
