Delayed puberty in males is characterized by the absence of testicular enlargement by an expected age. This condition may be constitutional or pathological in origin, requiring careful andrological evaluation.
Potential causes include hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, chronic systemic disease, genetic disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent long-term consequences such as reduced bone density and psychological distress.
Andrological management focuses on identifying the underlying cause and initiating appropriate hormonal erotic or supportive therapy when indicated.
