The 2025 update of the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines sets a unified biochemical threshold of total testosterone below 12 nmol/L confirmed by two morning samples and emphasises baseline assessment of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), blood pressure and haematocrit before therapy. The large multicentre TRAVERSE trial showed that transdermal testosterone replacement does not increase major adverse cardiovascular events, yet revealed a mild rise in systolic blood pressure, a finding reflected in the latest US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labelling changes. Building on this evidence, we propose a four-step algorithm encompassing precise diagnosis, judicious initiation of treatment, integrated management of cardiometabolic risk factors and personalised fertility preservation.
