title: [Effects of testosterone supplement therapy on multiple organs and systems and its action duration].
abstract: Androgens, which constitute the basis of male health, have a wide variety of physiological functions. Clinically, external testosterones are often prescribed for patients with hypogonadism to supplement their insufficiency in self-secretion. Testosterone supplemental therapy (TST) can raise the levels of internal androgens, relieve the related clinical symptoms, and improve the patients' life quality. Meanwhile, TST also works on multiple organs and systems, and have some effectiveness for a given period of time.
