The review is devoted to the study of modern aspects of the use of testosterone preparations for non-medical purposes. The search was conducted using Medline, PubMed, and EMBASE databases. Data from a literature search indicate that the use of PT for non-medical purposes is an urgent problem of modern urology, affecting the interests of many specialties, since against the background or after the abolition of unjustified use of testosterone drugs in healthy men, undesirable effects are recorded not only in the urinary tract and reproductive organs, but also other organs and systems.
