Despite the strong presence of legal and illegal androgen use, the science of androgen effects has greatly lagged behind the understanding of the biological effects of estrogen and indications for estrogen replacement therapy. Female oral contraceptives have been in use for many years, but only recently have we seen studies regarding hormone contraceptive agents in men. Although there are a few very well defined clinical syndromes of male hypogonadism, which requires androgen therapy, their use in other clinical situations, such as mild hypogonadism and hypogonadism associated with aging, is less well known.
