AB  - The  primary  care  physician  (PCP)  plays  an  important  role  in  the  diagnosis  of  male  hypogonadism.  Diagnosing  hypogonadism  is  important  since  testosterone  is  required  for  normal  virilization,  sexual  function,  and  bone  and  muscle  mass.  Although  men  with  reproductive  problems  initially  will  discuss  their  symptoms  with  their  PCP,  the  symptoms  are  often  nonspecific.  The  PCP  needs  to  carefully  determine  whether  hypogonadism  is  a  possibility  and,  if  so,  how  to  accurately  make  the  diagnosis.  Once  the  diagnosis  of  hypogonadism  is  confirmed,  the  PCP  must  evaluate  its  etiology.
