Testosterone boost - (pronounced) (tes-TOS-teh-rone flayr) temporary increase in testosterone levels in the body caused by certain types of hormone therapies used to treat prostate cancer. A testosterone surge can occur in patients taking so-called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. When these drugs are first administered, they cause the testicles to produce more testosterone. This can cause symptoms such as bone pain and urinary problems to get worse, but they usually go away after the first few weeks of treatment
