Hypogonadism – Low Testosterone Clinical Trials
Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone and/or has an impaired ability to produce sperm.
Some men are born with this condition, while some develop later in life, often from injury or infection. The effects — and what can be done about them — depend on the cause and at what point in life male hypogonadism occurs. Some types of male hypogonadism can be treated with testosterone replacement therapy.
Establishing the cause of this condition is an important first step to getting appropriate treatment. Here at CNS Healthcare, we are conducting clinical trials to help males with this condition.

More About Hypogonadism
This condition can begin during fetal development, before puberty or during adulthood. Signs and symptoms depend on when the condition develops:
Fetal Development
If the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone during fetal development, the result may be impaired growth of the external sex organs. Depending on when the condition develops and how much testosterone is present, a child who is genetically male may be born with:
- Female genitals
- Ambiguous genitals — genitals that are neither clearly male nor clearly female
- Underdeveloped male genitals
Puberty
Male hypogonadism may delay puberty or cause incomplete or lack of normal development. It can cause:
- Decreased development of muscle mass
- Lack of deepening of the voice
- Impaired growth of body hair
- Impaired growth of the penis and testicles
- Excessive growth of the arms and legs in relation to the trunk of the body
- Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
Adulthood
In adult males, hypogonadism may alter certain masculine physical characteristics and impair normal reproductive function. Signs and symptoms may include:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Infertility
- Decrease in beard and body hair growth
- Decrease in muscle mass
- Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
- Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis)
