Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Testosterone deficit syndrome (TDS) is a clinical and biochemical entity characterized by low testosterone levels and androgenic deprivation clinic, which can cause a decrease in the quality of life. However, today there are doubts about its diagnosis and therapeutic management.METHODS: Bibliographic review using the MedLine database and detailed presentation of one clinical case.RESULTS: Testosterone deficit syndrome is associated with metabolic syndrome (visceral obesity, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipemia).

We propose a diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for the management of TDS and erectile dysfunction.CONCLUSIONS: The treatment of erectile dysfunction associated with late start hypogonadism follows the same steps tha other generic cases of erectile dysfunction.
