take second opinion,
he would check necessity & side effects of testosterone,

Worsening of BPH and Potential Risk of Prostate Cancer,
Monitor patients for worsening of signs and symptoms.
Patients treated with Androgens may be at increased risk for prostate cancer, It would be appropriate to reevaluate patients 3 to 6 months after initiation of treatment,
