1 -- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat ED may be used for men with documented androgen deficiency who do not have prostate cancer. HRT involves intramuscular injections or topical patches, not intrapenile injections. This response does not relate to contraindications of HRT. Antibiotics are not a contraindication to HRT. Excessive chest hair is not a contraindication. The patient may place the patch on an area other than the chest or hair could be removed to permit adherence of the patch.
