Abstract

We report on a patient with a low testosterone level which occurred during treatment with venlafaxine. The testosterone level increased when the medication was discontinued. Possible clinical correlation with amelioration of paraphilia is discussed.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
