Low Testosterone - Male Hypogonadism

What is low testosterone (male hypogonadism) — and when is treatment appropriate?

Male hypogonadism is a medical condition defined by consistently low serum testosterone levels combined with compatible symptoms. In this episode, we explain how low testosterone is diagnosed, what causes it, and how treatment decisions are made across Europe.

You’ll learn:

• Common symptoms: reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, low mood, reduced muscle mass

• The difference between primary and secondary hypogonadism

• How diagnosis requires morning blood tests and clinical correlation

• Contributing factors such as obesity, chronic illness, medication use, and ageing

• When Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be considered after confirmed deficiency

• Potential risks of TRT, including erythrocytosis, fertility suppression, and cardiovascular considerations

• Situations where TRT requests may be declined if laboratory criteria are not met

We also discuss lifestyle factors that influence testosterone levels and when referral to endocrinology may be recommended.

This episode complements our full clinical guide:
