Is it true that testosterone replacement therapy improves symptoms in men with clinically low testosterone?
Unclear. Several randomized trials and evidence syntheses report that testosterone replacement therapy improves sexual function, mood, quality of life, and some hypogonadal symptoms in men with clinically low testosterone, though each covers only specific symptom domains or populations. No retrieved item settles the general claim across all symptoms, and none contradicts it.
