    GlossaryAndrogen Deficiency

    insufficient production of male hormones, primarily testosterone

    Androgen Deficiency, also known as Testosterone Deficiency or Hypoandrogenism, refers to a condition where the body produces insufficient levels of androgens, primarily testosterone. This can lead to symptoms such as reduced libido, fatigue, depression, and loss of muscle mass in men, and can also affect women, though less commonly. It can result from various causes, including aging, medical conditions, or certain medications.
