Male Hypogonadism

Male hypogonadism, acquired or congenital, can be caused by defects that interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. It is essential to distinguish between primary hypogonadism and secondary hypogonadism. Symptoms highly suggestive of hypogonadism include decreased spontaneous erections, decreased nocturnal penile tumescence, decreased libido, and reduced testicular volume. Clinicians participating in this activity can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of male hypogonadism. This activity covers the etiology, emphasizing the impact of hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis defects and accentuating the crucial differentiation between primary and secondary hypogonadism. Participants learn to recognize key symptoms and appreciate evaluation and management strategies, including patient selection for screening. Additionally, clinicians will gain insights into testosterone level interpretation, diagnostic criteria, and the nuanced approach required for patients with persistent symptoms despite normal testosterone levels. This activity also highlights the interprofessional team’s role in enhancing care for patients with male hypogonadism.
