title: Hypogonadism.
abstract: Hypogonadism is a common finding in men, involving up to 5% of the population. Diagnosis of hypogonadism is dependent on clinical examination. Laboratory studies will confirm the cause. Treatment of testosterone deficiency is readily achieved; however, correction of spermatogenesis depends on the cause of the testicular failure.
