Abstract
Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone which results in its low serum level in combination with characteristic clinical symptoms and/or signs (see the description below) that can be observed in the patients presenting with pathological changes in testicles and/or hypophysis, such as Kleinfelter’s syndrome, and in men with idiopathic metabolic or iatrogenic disorders leading to androgen deficiency. The present recommendations does not cover the entire set of pathological conditions responsible for the development of hypogonadism (deficit of testosterone); rather, they are focused on its clinical variants that account for the majority of the cases of male hypogonadism.
