message: It should also be noted that Hypogonadism can be caused by the chronic use of opioid pain releivers in chronic pain patients. See the following letter below, and other works by Dr. Jennifer Schneider who is the head of a pain treatment clinic, and author of many papers on the subject. Also, see the responce to her article from Rollin M. Gallagher, MD, MPH, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, and Lisa Rosenthal, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.

message: The level listed in this article seems to conflict with the article Reference ranges for blood tests. Can someone experienced in the matter reconcile the contradiction? Thanks, Vectro (talk) 19:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Normal testosterone levels 

message: Sections of this are unusually bad for a medical article, with no balance, no perspective, and poor citations. It reads like obsolete "hormones will fix all problems" material from the 1940s (see DeKruif, The Male Hormone, 1945 for similar naivete), or like the pro-estrogen propaganda used to promote estrogen for all menopausal women in the 1960s -- "you don't have to age". Much of the worst was added in fall of 2009 by an anonymous editors who is neither a medical scientist nor a doctor with any real expertise in this area. I generally don't leave notes like this, but started to answer the fairly straightforward question above. Someone can certainly respond with the sofixit tag, but I do not have the time and interest to overhaul it. For a more reliable review of the unresolved aspects of diagnosis of hypogonadism and testosterone replacement in men, see  Sorry. alteripse (talk) 17:14, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Article is unbalanced, unscientific, & reads like pharmaceutical marketing

message: Some of the material here is very good but it also overlaps with some of the information on the following pages: testosterone, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, androgene replacement, androgen. This overlapping is unhelpful because it causes confusion and scatters potential discussion and adding of important sources. Though the work on this page is admirable, it seems awkward to combine extensive discussion of the male problem and the female problem on the same page. There is the same core issue but then the details vary greatly. I would like to suggest: 
2 Diagnosis
2.1 In men'''
move to testosterone or androgen replacement therapy
''
2.2 In women
move to estrogen page
3 Treatment
most of this could go to androgen replacement therapy
6 Testosterone and longevity
move to testosterone page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nohoguy (talk • contribs) 00:57, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hypogonadism can be iatrogenic. In these cases treatment might be a change of regime. Should this be covered? Rich Farmbrough, 11:07, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: How is hypogonadism related to eunuchoidism?  Are they the same thing? Is hypogonadism a subset of eunuchoidism?  Remember (talk) 16:21, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Eunuchoidism is the body habitus (body shape/proportions/configuration) of an adult who grew up through adolescence with untreated hypogonadism. The principal features of eunuchoidism are disproportionately long arms and legs, slightly narrower than average shoulder:hip ratio, below average musculature, below average facial hair, youthful (less mature masculine) hairline and jawline, and some gynecomastia. All of these features are relatively mild, though recognizable to an endocrinologist. Treatment as an adult will change the musculature and face but not the body proportions. alteripse (talk) 12:48, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
