testosterone cypionate
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for stress urinary incontinence in older women by strengthening pelvic floor muscles.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is also early-stage, and the primary outcome is muscle volume, not direct symptom improvement.
