Testosterone Deficiency

Meaning

Testosterone deficiency is a recognized clinical condition characterized by consistently low circulating levels of the androgen testosterone, often accompanied by specific, negative signs and symptoms that profoundly impact physical and psychological well-being. This hormonal imbalance can manifest clinically as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, increased central adiposity, and persistent fatigue, significantly diminishing an individual’s quality of life. The formal diagnosis requires both the presence of these characteristic clinical symptoms and laboratory confirmation of sub-optimal serum testosterone concentrations.
