Editor's Notes

  1. Low testosterone, or male hypogonadism, is associated with a number of signs and symptoms in the adult male. Loss of libido and erectile dysfunction are two hallmark symptoms of hypogonadism.1,2 Mood and behavioral symptoms, namely depression, irritability, and loss of motivation, may also occur with low testosterone levels. Lethargy, or loss of energy, is also commonly seen in these men.1 A deficiency of endogenous testosterone also has a deleterious effect on bone mass and is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Progressive decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength are also associated with low testosterone levels.1,2 Some regression of secondary sexual characteristics, such as reduced ancillary and pubic hair, is observed, but voice, penis length, and prostate size remain unchanged.2 Because hypogonadism is characterized by testicular dysfunction, production of sperm is impaired, resulting in oligospermia or even azoospermia, and many times hypogonadism is diagnosed as a result of fertility tests.1,2 1.Tenover JL.
