What the trials found For clinicians

Hypogonadism: what the trials found

Various testosterone delivery methods, including gels [2, 6], nasal gels 10, transdermal systems [8, 22], and injectable products [7, 15, 19], have been evaluated for the treatment of hypogonadism. Topical testosterone solutions demonstrated a significant increase in serum testosterone levels (p<0.001) with 94.7% of participants achieving normal levels 11. Oral testosterone undecanoate was also shown to reach eugonadal ranges in a majority of subjects 17.

Clinical improvements associated with testosterone therapy include significant increases in sexual arousal, interest, and drive (SAID scores) and improved energy diary (HED) scores 21. Additionally, transdermal systems were associated with increases in lean tissue mass 22, while transdermal gels showed a statistically significant increase in total lean body mass 18.

Safety data regarding testosterone use include observations on cardiovascular markers; for example, coronary artery calcium scores were recorded following AndroGel use 2. In large-scale studies of AndroGel, the incidence of high-grade prostate cancer was low (3-5 cases) 3. One study noted that patients receiving Aveed did not require dose increases in antihypertensive medications 7.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Multiple testosterone delivery methods (gel, nasal, transdermal, and injectable) are established for managing hypogonadism, with topical solutions showing high success rates in achieving normal serum levels [10, 11].
  • clinical improvements include significant gains in sexual function and energy scores 21, as well as increases in lean body mass or tissue [18, 22].
  • Safety monitoring for cardiovascular markers and prostate health is supported by data from large-scale trials of various testosterone formulations [2, 3].

Questions about Hypogonadism

Does testosterone gel work to normalize serum levels in ICU patients with Hypogonadism?

No source directly tests testosterone gel in ICU patients. The closest evidence shows gels can raise serum testosterone into normal range in hypogonadal men, but ICU use is not studied here.

Does testosterone replacement therapy increase fracture risk for men with Hypogonadism?

A 2025 meta-analysis found TRT was linked to more clinical fractures than placebo in hypogonadal men, but the finding rests on only two trials and major osteoporotic fractures showed no difference [5].

Does taking fenugreek increase testosterone levels for men with Hypogonadism?

While some studies show fenugreek may modestly increase total testosterone in men, the evidence is of very low certainty.
