Low Testosterone
Male Hypogonadism
Overview
Understanding Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism occurs when the testes produce insufficient testosterone. This can be due to problems with the testes themselves (primary) or with the pituitary gland and hypothalamus (secondary). It can develop at any age and has wide-ranging effects on physical and mental health.
Dr Humayun provides careful, evidence-based assessment and management of male hypogonadism, including appropriate testosterone replacement therapy with ongoing monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy.
