A practical guide to diagnosis, management and treatment of testosterone deficiency for Canadian physicians.

The percentage of men receiving appropriate management for testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS) is small in comparison to prevalence estimates. This is despite linkages to cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, sexual function, sarcopenia, emotional well-being and the metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the availability of guidelines has not significantly enhanced the care of TDS patients. A multidisciplinary group of medical experts sought to improve the management of testosterone-deficient patients by Canadian physicians. This report describes their conclusions and defines an algorithm for appropriate TDS management.
