Puneet Masson, M.D., associate professor and director of reproductive urology at the Miller School, and Thomas Masterson, M.D., assistant professor of clinical urology at the Miller School, moderated the Friday men’s health session. Bruce Kava, M.D., professor of clinical urology at the Miller School, and Dr. Wein gave updates on the delivery of men’s health care. They noted that, in contrast to international, multidisciplinary practices, urologists are primarily responsible in the United States.

Several presenters looked at innovative approaches to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

“Because TRT is a contraceptive, we typically stop this treatment for couples trying to conceive and give men other medications to make their own testosterone and sperm,” said Dr. Masson

However, Larry Lipshultz, M.D., professor of urology and chief of male reproductive medicine and surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, presented a novel approach in his talk on “Concurrent Use of TRT In Couples Trying to Conceive.” He demonstrated it can be safe and effective to keep men on TRT while giving them synthetic hormonal therapy to produce sperm.

In a related talk, Joseph Alukal, M.D., M.B.A., director of men’s health at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said TRT may also be given safely to prostate cancer patients, helping to reduce comorbidities, particularly in older men.
