Hypogonadism is the condition whereby the body doesn’t produce enough sexual hormones, which really control sexual development, reproductive function, along with several other elements of health. Left untreated, hypogonadism can affect people of both sexes with a wide range of medical issues.

These are the sorts of hypogonadism:

1. Primary Hypogonadism is brought on by gonads not working; it is acquired or hereditary depending on whether one might be recovering from infection or chemotherapy.

2. Secondary hypogonadism is the result of issues in the pituitary or hypothalamus, where they don’t truly transmit hormone production signals hence the testicles not producing enough.

Factors Leading Hypogonadism

These are causes of hypogonadism:

• Genetic conditions including Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome
• Immune system disorders
• Infections for instance – mumps
• Tumors of the pituitary
