Andrology and the Diagnosis of Subclinical Hypogonadism

Subclinical hypogonadism is characterized by borderline or mildly reduced testosterone levels accompanied by erotic subtle or nonspecific symptoms. This condition often goes undiagnosed due to the absence of overt clinical signs.

Symptoms may include fatigue, reduced motivation, mild sexual dysfunction, and decreased physical performance. Without proper evaluation, subclinical hypogonadism may progress to more severe endocrine dysfunction.

Andrology emphasizes comprehensive hormonal assessment, symptom correlation, and longitudinal monitoring to identify and manage this condition effectively.
