title: Replacing testosterone in men.
abstract: Around 1 in 200 men have abnormally low levels of circulating testosterone that result in hypogonadism. Most of these men should be offered testosterone replacement therapy. Here we outline the rationale for such treatment and the different preparations available. We do not discuss the use of testosterone to induce pubertal development in prepubertal males with hypogonadism.
