Mens Health Topics
Androgen deficiency is a syndrome caused by poor testicular function (hypogonadism), resulting from either primary (testicular) or secondary (hypothalamic-pituitary) disease, and is characterised by a low testosterone level accompanied by signs and symptoms.
It is estimated that approximately 5 in 1000 men have androgen deficiency warranting treatment with testosterone.
A low testosterone level alone does not constitute androgen deficiency, and neither does the observed age-related decline in testosterone (of approximately 1% annually).
Androgen deficiency may have subtle effects on health and wellbeing, which can make diagnosis challenging. Untreated androgen deficiency has detrimental effects on body composition and bone health.
Androgen Deficiency
The extent of androgen abuse is unknown; however, it is estimated that lifetime use in the general population is probably 1-5% globally, with prevalence at least 50-times higher in men than women.
Two percent of Australian secondary-school students report using performance and image enhancing drugs (including androgens).
Androgen abuse often involves massive doses and multiple drugs taken simultaneously that provide a vastly higher level of androgen action than required for physiological replacement in legitimate androgen deficiency.
Androgen use, misuse and abuse
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterised by a debilitating preoccupation with a perceived defect in one’s own physical appearance.
The physical attribute of concern may be non-existent or so minor as to be unnoticeable by others.
Behavioural characteristics of BDD – such as constantly checking one’s appearance, repeated attempts at correcting the perceived disorder, or excessive exercising – can limit daily function.
Muscle dysmorphia is a form of BDD characterised by a perceived lack of muscularity.
Excessive exercise and specific dietary patterns are common behavioural consequences of muscle dysmorphia.
Misuse or abuse of androgenic steroids appears common in males with muscle dysmorphia.
Males are more likely than females to have genital manifestations of BDD.
Body dysmorphic disorder is distinct from gender dysphoria, although both may occur in individuals.
Prevalence
Approximately 1 in 50 (2%) adults has body dysmorphic disorder.
The disorder most commonly manifests in adolescence, with subclinical symptoms occurring for years before diagnosis.
There is no gender difference in the prevalence of BDD but muscle dysmorphia occurs much more often in males.
