Doctors are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of testosterone deficiency syndrome, writes MICHAEL KELLY . TESTOSTERONE deficiency syndrome (TDS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in men, but also the least commonly diagnosed and treated, according to Dr Malcolm Carruthers, president of the Society for the Study of Androgen Deficiency.
Carruthers, who is also Medical Director at the Centre for Men’s Health in Harley Street in London, estimates that up to 110,000 of the half a million men who are aged over 50 in Ireland may be suffering from the condition.
“The medical profession is only now waking up to how common this is,” he says. “Only about one per cent, or 1,000 of those men are undergoing treatment for the condition.”
