Testosterone deficiency can rarely cause myopathy in men. This study shows a patient with testosterone deficiency-induced myopathy who significantly improved with testosterone replacement therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology
  • Muscle Physiology

Background:

  • Testosterone is known to positively influence nitrogen balance and muscle development.
  • Myopathy directly caused by testosterone deficiency is infrequently reported in clinical settings.

Observation:

  • A male patient presented with symptoms suggestive of myopathy.
  • The patient was diagnosed with testosterone deficiency.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited a significant improvement in muscle function and myometric measurements following testosterone replacement therapy.
  • This case highlights a rare but treatable cause of myopathy.

Implications:

  • Testosterone deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of myopathy, especially in hypogonadal men.
