Examples of "hypogonadism"
Androgen replacement is the classic treatment of
hypogonadism
and may improve
hypogonadism
symptoms such as anemia and fatigue.
The terminology used when describing cases of HH can vary. The term congenital hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
(CHH) is now often used. Other terms used include idiopathic / isolated hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
(IHH), normosmic hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
(nHH) or hypothalamic
hypogonadism
. The term HH can be used to cover all cases, including Kallmann syndrome.
Humans with a FANCD deficiency display
hypogonadism
, male infertility, impaired spermatogenesis, and reduced female fertility. Similarly, mice deficient in FANCD2 show
hypogonadism
, impaired fertility and impaired gametogenesis.
7) Males:
hypogonadism
, Females: irregular menses and/or hyperandrogenism
Women with 46 XX gonadal dysgenesis experience primary amenorrhea with hypergonadotropic
hypogonadism
. There are forms of 46 xx gonadal dysgenesis wherein abnormalities in the FSH-receptor have been reported and are thought to be the cause of the
hypogonadism
.
Testosterone deficiency (also termed hypotestosteronism or hypotestosteronemia) is an abnormally low testosterone production. It may occur because of testicular dysfunction (primary
hypogonadism
) or hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction (secondary
hypogonadism
) and may be congenital or acquired.
A relationship between late-onset
hypogonadism
and risk of Alzheimer's disease and some small clinical studies have been conducted to prevent Alzheimer's disease in men with late-onset
hypogonadism
; as of 2009, results were inconclusive.
Deficiency of sex hormones can result in defective primary or secondary sexual development, or withdrawal effects (e.g., premature menopause) in adults. Defective egg or sperm development results in infertility. The term
hypogonadism
usually means permanent rather than transient or reversible defects, and usually implies deficiency of reproductive hormones, with or without fertility defects. The term is less commonly used for infertility without hormone deficiency. There are many possible types of
hypogonadism
and several ways to categorize them.
Hypogonadism
is also categorized by endocrinologists by the level of the reproductive system that is defective. Physicians measure gonadotropins (LH and FSH) to distinguish primary from secondary
hypogonadism
. In primary
hypogonadism
the LH and/or FSH are usually elevated, meaning the problem is in the testicles, whereas in secondary
hypogonadism
, both are normal or low, suggesting the problem is in the brain.
In Men these disorders include
Hypogonadism
, Klinefelter's syndrome, low libido and castration.
Examples of symptoms of
hypogonadism
include delayed, reduced, or absent puberty, low libido, and infertility.
Examples of symptoms of

Defects in the "GNRHR" are a cause of hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
(HH).
Various skeletal abnormalities (e.g., curvature of the spine) and hypergonadotropic
hypogonadism
often occur.
Mutations in this gene are associated with
hypogonadism
which is characterized by infertility and pseudohermaphroditism.
Another treatment for
hypogonadism
is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This stimulates the LH receptor, thereby promoting testosterone synthesis. This will not be effective in men who simply cannot make testosterone anymore (primary
hypogonadism
) and the failure of hCG therapy is further support for the existence of true testicular failure in a patient. It is particularly indicated in men with
hypogonadism
who wish to retain their fertility, as it does not suppress spermatogenesis like testosterone replacement therapy does.
Hypogonadism
can involve just hormone production or just fertility, but most commonly involves both.
Statistical analysis has shown FAI to be a poor predictor of bioavailable testosterone and of
hypogonadism
.
Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism
(HH), also known as secondary or central
hypogonadism
, as well as gonadotropin-releasing hormone deficiency or gonadotropin deficiency (GD), is a condition which is characterized by
hypogonadism
due to an impaired secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), by the pituitary gland in the brain, and in turn decreased gonadotropin levels and a resultant lack of sex steroid production.
Late-onset
hypogonadism
is an endocrine condition as well as a result of aging.
or produces low levels of sperm. Hypergonadotrophic
hypogonadism
