American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists: Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Hpypogonadism in Males (pdf)
This is an excellent report, written for the professional endocrinologist community but useful for the lay community as well. It covers all aspects of the detection and treatment of hypogonadism (low testosterone) and explores possible links to pituitary disorders. Prenatal DES exposure is listed as a factor to be considered when a patient is being assessed for hypogonadism.

This page is provided by the Mayo Clinic's MayoHealth online information network, offering a diverse range of tips and research on causes and treatment of hypogonadism in males. It is notable that many of the causes of hypogonadism in males are consistent with documented effects of prenatal exposure to DES among males, and some research suggests that DES when used to treat prostate cancer contributes to hypogonadism.
