Treatment

Hypogonadism is most often treated by replacement of the appropriate hormones. For men this is testosterone. Commonly used testosterone formulations include transdermal testosterone, injectable testosterone, and buccal testosterone. Oral testosterone is no longer used in the U.S. because it is broken down in the liver and rendered inactive. Another feasible alternative is hCG. For women estradiol and progesterone are replaced. Some types of fertility defects can be treated; some cannot.
