{"title":"Improving the recognition, diagnosis, and management of male testosterone deficiency across the NHS: a Delphi consensus.","authors":"Jeff Foster, Patrick Wright, Preethi Mohan Rao, David Edwards, Michelle Greenwood, Richard Wayman, Inderjit Singh, Gail Fortes-Mayer, Tom Barber","doi":"10.1093/jsxmed/qdaf130","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jsxmed/qdaf130","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Testosterone deficiency (TD) is a clinical and biochemical syndrome marked by the reduced production of testosterone. TD is associated with a decrease in quality of life, alongside increasing the risks of various comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. A lack of guidance concerning TD for healthcare professionals (HCPs) exists, leading to many men going undiagnosed and a broad variation in care.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>Establish the views of UK HCPs working in male TD and develop recommendations that support improved diagnosis and management of TD across the NHS.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using a modified Delphi method, a panel of experts developed 43 Likert-scale statements across 5 main domains. Statements were used to develop an online survey that was distributed via a \"snowball sampling\" approach through Microsoft Forms. The survey was distributed to HCPs working within male TD throughout the United Kingdom. The threshold for consensus was set at 75%.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Fifty-five responses from UK HCPs were analyzed. Of the 43 statements, 30/43 reached very strong agreement (90%) and 13/43 attained strong agreement (<90 and 75%). Consequently, the authors developed 6 recommendations to improve the recognition, diagnosis, and management of male TD in the NHS.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The strength of agreement demonstrates that the respondents acknowledge that awareness of TD, along with its health and cost impacts, among UK HCPs is lacking. Respondents are clear on where the limitations in care currently exist. The proposed set of recommendations provides a framework to help improve the diagnosis and management of testosterone deficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":51100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sexual Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144509325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty-seven percent underwent genital gender-affirming surgery. All gender-related medical treatment (GRMT) was performed at the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, between 1998 and 2011. PS treatment was, on average, initiated 14 years prior to study participation. Sexual experiences were assessed using a self-developed questionnaire at least 9 years after GAH and compared between early and late PS treatment groups. Findings were compared with data of a transgender cohort that started GRMT at an adult age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Outcomes: &lt;/strong&gt;The primary outcomes included sexual satisfaction and various sexual dysfunctions, defined as the presence of a sexual problem accompanied by distress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Sexual satisfaction was reported by 52% of transmasculine and 40% of transfeminine individuals, with similar outcomes between early and late PS groups. Among transmasculine individuals, 58% reported at least one sexual dysfunction, most commonly difficulty with initiating sexual contact (34%), with similar frequencies in PS groups. In transfeminine individuals, 50% experienced at least one sexual dysfunction, with difficulty achieving orgasm (35%) being most common, with similar reports across PS groups. The prevalence of sexual dysfunctions was comparable to that of transgender individuals who began GRMT in adulthood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clinical implications: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings enable healthcare professionals to provide accurate and personalized information regarding the anticipated effects of early endocrine GRMT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strengths and limitations: &lt;/strong&gt;This is the first study to assess sexual satisfaction and dysfunction in TGD individuals treated with early and late PS. The small sample size precluded inferential statistical analyses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;In this study, the majority of transgender individuals treated with PS did not experience difficulties with desire, arousal, or achieving orgasm in adulthood. Outcomes were similar for early and late PS treatment and comparable to previous findings in those who started GRMT in adulthood. Sexual satisfaction is comparable to the general population. These results may alleviate concerns about long-term effects on sexual satisfaction and dysfunction in TGD individuals who do not undergo (full) endogenous puberty.
