Men With Low Testosterone Not Receiving Treatment
Robert Preidt of HealthDay tells us via AOL news that "many men with low testosterone levels don't receive treatment, even though they have access to care, according to a U.S. study."
The study, funded by GlaxoSmithKline, and published in the May 26 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, goes on to say that "under our assumptions, a large majority (87.8 percent) of 97 men ... with androgen deficiency were not receiving treatment despite adequate access to care. The reasons for this are unknown but could be due to unrecognized androgen deficiency or unwillingness to prescribe testosterone therapy."
