Diagnosis/Education
Low testosterone or hypogonadism in men is a condition that results from the inability of the testes to produce the sex hormone testosterone, sperm or both. As part of their reproductive systems, men have external genital organs called the testes.
Hypogonadism can affect men of any age, from fetal development, through puberty and adulthood. During each of these stages the symptoms of this condition are very distinct. If you have a family history of certain conditions such as Kallman's syndrome, undescended testicles as an infant, infertility, decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or hemochromatosis, you may be at greater risk for developing hypogonadism.
Choosing the Treatment That's Right for You
Several testosterone delivery methods exist. These include testosterone injections, patches, and topical ointments. |
