Male hypogonadism affects an estimated four to five million men in the US. It is defined as failure of the testes to produce an adequate amount of testosterone and/or conduct normal spermatogenesis. The production of adequate amounts of testosterone is necessary for development of external genitalia and development of secondary sexual characteristics in children and adolescents. In adults, androgen production is necessary for maintenance of lean body mass (LBM), bone mass, libido, sexual function, and spermatogenesis.
