Throws a stick in spokes of guys who routinely donate blood. It always felt off to me to give up blood anyways, use diet lifestyle and meds to keep BP in range, but don’t give ur valuable blood up. My buddy got anemia from trying to keep RBC in check by donating.

"Researchers found that men taking the male hormone seem to have a 63 percent increased risk of a blood clot forming in a vein, a condition known as venous thromboembolism (VTE)."

That is testosterone, some drugs are even worse.

There are many studies that have demonstrated this. If you look at the drug insert that comes with testosterone, blood clots are listed as a possible side effect.

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2014 required that all approved testosterone products carry a warning about VTE risk, researchers said in background notes.
Since then, the FDA has expanded its testosterone warning to include increased risk of heart attacks, personality changes and infertility."

"No one is sure why testosterone might help cause blood clots, the experts agreed.
One theory holds that testosterone in some way interferes with the enzymes that break up blood clots, particularly in people already inclined toward VTE, Martinez said.
“Future research is needed to confirm this temporal increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism,” Martinez said. Studies should also investigate the risk in first-time testosterone users, determine how long this risk persists and whether the risk is related to the reason for starting testosterone treatment, he added."

From Bayer website on Nebido.

Reported cases of venous thromboembolism after testosterone treatment were almost all confined to patients with a previously undiagnosed thrombophilia (a blood coagulation abnormality that increases the risk of blood clots).34,38 Men with thrombophilia are more likely to have the Factor V Leiden mutation, high Factor VIII and high Factor XI than men given testosterone therapy who did not have a venous thromboembolism.34,38 This is supported by a more recent study which showed that among adult men with low testosterone levels who were at low to moderate baseline risk of developing blood clots - which comprises the large majority of the general population of men - there is no significant association between testosterone treatment and risk of blood clots.37

Hmmm....sounds like a medical thingy or something. Good thing there's no need for med school anymore when there's WiFi. :a:tion-sm

Not sure what kind of retardations inspires you to post this, but ok.
