| Annotation | Male hypogonadism is defined as a clinical syndrome complex, which comprises symptoms - with or without signs - and biochemical evidence of testosterone deficiency. Late onset hypogonadism is associated with reduced sexual function and quality of life in men, also increased mortality. This article notes that guidelines exist for diagnosis, but concludes that long term studies of treatment are needed. (RH). |
