摘要：
The signs and symptoms of testosterone deficiency can be nonspecific, and can vary according to patient age and the presence of comorbid illnesses, thereby making diagnosis of the disorder difficult. In this Review, Tostain and Blanc highlight the problems and solutions in diagnosing testosterone deficiency by looking at the signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and epidemiology of the disorder.
