THIS EPISODE unravels the extremely important role of testosterone for men. It covers:

• The function and regulation of testosterone in the body
• Prevalence and impact of deficiency
• Clinical features of deficiency
• Primary care workup and when to refer onwards
• The importance of testosterone in women

At least in the UK, this is an extremely important, and yet so often neglected area of clinical care. It's time to wake-up and give patients the expertise they need.
