Assessing symptoms of hypogonadism by self-administered questionnaire: qualitative findings in patients and controls
The Aging Male, 08/21/09

Rosen RC et al. – Current screening instruments for hypogonadism lack adequate specificity and diagnostic accuracy. A new self–administered questionnaire of hypogonadism symptoms is being developed to address this need. The process for questionnaire development and results from the first (qualitative) phase are presented. Key domains identified in both patients and controls included: (a) physical function; (b) bodily signs and symptoms; (c) sexual function and libido; (d) sleep function; (e) mood and affective function; (f) memory and cognitive function. The final domain is distress or bother associated with hypogonadism symptoms.
