Hypogonadism is a condition where the body doesn't produce enough testosterone. This happens when the sex organs, called gonads, are not working properly. The gonads in men are the testes, while in women they are the ovaries.
There are two main types of hypogonadism:
- Primary hypogonadism - This means there is a problem with the testes/ovaries themselves. They fail to produce enough sex hormones due to an inherited disorder, infection, injury, etc.
- Secondary hypogonadism - Here the problem lies with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus (parts of the brain that signal the gonads). Even if the testes/ovaries are healthy, they don't get the message to produce more sex hormones.
Symptoms vary but may include:
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Poor muscle development
- Fatigue
- Infertility
Hypogonadism can develop at any age. Getting diagnosed and treated early is important to
regain strength and vitality.
