Summary
Endocrine Society 2018 update to the 2010 guideline on testosterone therapy in men with hypogonadism. Diagnosis requires both symptoms/signs of testosterone deficiency AND unequivocally low, repeated morning fasting total testosterone; free testosterone is reserved for borderline values or altered SHBG. T therapy is indicated only for symptomatic hypogonadal men to restore secondary sex characteristics and correct symptoms, with specific contraindications and a structured monitoring plan targeting mid-normal serum T concentrations.
