Defining clinical features in adults include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased spontaneous erections, loss of axillary and pubic hair, oligospermia or azoospermia, fatigue, and decreased bone and muscle mass

Defining clinical features in adults include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased spontaneous erections, loss of axillary and pubic hair, oligospermia or azoospermia, fatigue, and decreased bone and muscle mass

Diagnosis is formally confirmed by the presence of characteristic symptoms alongside consistently low morning serum testosterone concentrations measured on multiple occasions
