Abstract
The author reports his experience in the treatment of eunuchoid patients with testosterone in propylene glycol-alcohol administered sublingually, and compares it to the parenteral inj. of testosterone propionate and pellet implantation of testosterone. While secondary sex characteristics are produced, testosterone does not provide complete substitution therapy. Local inunction of testosterone stimulated hair growth in axilla and groin of a hypopituitary individual from chromophobe tumor. Three cases of eunuchoidism (brothers) occurring in one family are reported. Sublingual adm. of testosterone is a satisfactory and practical treatment.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
