Ep 84 – Testosterone deficiency
Manage episode 385543791 series 3528644
Testosterone deficiency (TD) is an increasingly common problem with significant health implications, but the diagnosis and management of this condition may present problems in primary care. Low levels of testosterone in men are associated with increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus, worse outcomes in chronic kidney disease and COVID-19 infection (with increased all-cause mortality), along with significant implications in the areas of mental health and relationships. In this podcast, Dr Roger Henderson provides a reminder of how to diagnose TD — including from the patient’s history as well as clinical findings — and current guidelines on its management.
