Hypogonadism Masterclass- Recognizing The Unseen: Strategies for Early Detection And Management

What Will You Learn?

• Learning Objectives:
• Upon completion of this masterclass, participants will be able to:
• Identify the often-subtle clinical presentations of hypogonadism across the lifespan, from delayed puberty in adolescents to the non-reproductive symptoms (e.g., fatigue, mood disturbances, metabolic decline) in aging men .
• Differentiate between primary, secondary, and functional hypogonadism (including late-onset hypogonadism and obesity-related forms) using advanced interpretation of biochemical tests (total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, and prolactin) .
• Apply the latest diagnostic algorithms to avoid common pitfalls, including appropriate use of morning, fasting total testosterone measurements and confirmatory testing .
• Design personalized treatment plans that go beyond simply prescribing testosterone, incorporating lifestyle modification, management of co-morbidities, and fertility-preserving strategies (e.g., SERMs, hCG) when indicated .
• Evaluate the risks and benefits of various testosterone formulations (gels, injections, oral, pellets, nasal) to select the optimal therapy through shared decision-making with the patient
