Androgen Deficiency Diagnosis

Meaning

The clinical process of identifying a pathological state is characterized by insufficient production or action of androgens, primarily testosterone, leading to specific signs and symptoms in an individual. This diagnosis is established through a combination of a comprehensive clinical assessment, which includes a detailed symptom review, and precise laboratory measurements of circulating androgen levels. Confirmation requires a strong correlation between biochemical evidence of low hormones and the presence of clinical features such as diminished libido or reduced muscle mass.
