Abstract :

Due to increased awareness from both clinicians and patients, more and more testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is being implemented. However, hypogonadism is not merely an issue of low testosterone from aging. It is associated with other important comorbidities and therefore warrants a greater degree of recognition. Androgen deficiency has notable negative impacts on physical, psychological, and sexual function and can therefore result in adverse outcomes on quality of life. With recent findings of TRT raising risk of cardiovascular disease, careful selection of patients who would benefit from TRT and close monitoring them are imperative.This presentation will provide an insight how these issues are dealt with in current clinical practice from a clinicianâ??s view.
