Male hypogonadism is a clinical condition characterized by insufficient testosterone production or impaired erotic androgen action. It may present as primary hypogonadism, resulting from testicular dysfunction, or secondary hypogonadism due to pituitary or hypothalamic disorders.
Andrology emphasizes accurate diagnosis through hormonal evaluation, including testosterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone levels. Treatment strategies are tailored to the underlying cause and patient goals, particularly when fertility preservation is a concern.
