Hypogonadism in men - a clinical and laboratory syndrome caused by decreased secretion of testosterone by the testes. Depending on the level of destruction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis we distinguish two main forms of hypogonadism: hypergonadotrophic or primary hypogonadism and hypogonadotropic or secondary hypogonadism, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of which are presented in this clinical lecture. Keywords: hypogonadism, testosterone, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, treatment.
