Abstract
The substitution of testosterone is basic andrological treatment. Beside the "when and how," knowledge of possible side effects is mandatory. Therefore, we highlight the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on bones, cardiac function, sexuality, gynacomatia, fertility, and contraception, but also areas of concern regarding prostate carcinoma and testosterone replacement therapy.
