Abstract in brief

  • The European Academy of Andrology guidelines focus on diagnosing and managing functional hypogonadism in men, emphasizing the importance of clinical symptoms supported by low testosterone levels after excluding organic causes.
  • Lifestyle modifications and weight management are recommended as first-line treatments for overweight or obese men, with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) considered when necessary, but contraindicated in certain conditions like untreated prostate cancer or severe heart failure.
  • TRT, especially via transdermal routes, can improve sexual function in hypogonadal men, but its long-term safety and additional benefits remain uncertain, and careful evaluations such as prostate screening should be conducted before starting therapy.
