Abstract
54 patients with various types of genital anomalies and dysfunctions, which included adult hypo-gonadism, sexual diminution associated with senescence, adiposogenitalism, gynecomastia, and benign prostatic hypertrophy, were treated with testosterone propionate. Doses of 10-75 mg. weekly were effective in every case, as evidenced by hair and penile growth, erections and emissions, development of libido and potentia coeundi, and generalized changes in secondary sex characteristics. Gynecomastia with normal secondary sex development apparently was not influenced. There was relief in subjective symptoms.
