About Testosterone and Hypogonadism
Hypogonadism, often referred to as testosterone deficiency, is a condition that occurs when the body does not produce adequate levels of testosterone. In addition to testosterone’s widely accepted role in sexual and reproductive function, it also has important roles in numerous other metabolic and inflammatory processes. In the U.S. there are at least six million symptomatic men suffering from hypogonadism, and over 100 million men globally. The resulting medical costs associated with men with untreated hypogonadism and related comorbidities are more than $25 billion in the U.S. alone.
Hypogonadism is also the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis in men. Beyond these diseases, hypogonadism is a common comorbidity in a broader set of conditions from Type-2 diabetes to Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
