Abstract		Testosterone is important for maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing in men, regardless of age. Testosterone deficiency causes symptoms of a sexual nature, fosters metabolic dysfunction and im-pairs physical abilities as well as can cause osteopenia/osteoporosis and anemia. Late onset hypogonadism has a functional origin as the result of obesity or chronic illness. Diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of hypogonadism treatment are clearly regulated by international guidelines and replacement therapy is proven to be effective in ameliorating the above-mentioned symptoms when performed according to the guidelines.
