Hypogonadism is a common condition, among older men, but extremely rare in young males, often goes undiagnosed and untreated. It can be associated with a number of signs and symptoms that affect quality of life, including feelings of low energy, decreased sex drive, decreased muscle mass and increased abdominal fat, a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We here present a case of 37 years male who was diagnosed as hypogonadism during assessment for infertility and later on treated for low testosterone levels after 2 years. If Testosterone Replacement Therapy is initiated, a patient's response and adverse events should be assessed at regular intervals and therapy adjusted accordingly.
