A condition resulting from a deficiency in the secretions of the ovary or testis.<\/p>\n
Hormonal deprivation resulting in reduction or loss of sexual vigor and occurrence of certain negative emotional reactions, e.g., depression.<\/p>\n
Inadequate sperm production and\/or androgen secretion. It may be a consequence of a hypothalamic disorder, pituitary failure, or testicular disease.<\/p>\n
Underactivity of the sex glands (gonads), the testes in the male and the ovaries in the female. The condition can result from a problem with the pituitary gland, which triggers production of male and female hormones, and by disorders in the gonads themselves, sometimes as a result of wider problems, such as Laurence-Moon-Biedl Syndrome.<\/p>\n
A condition produced by a decrease or total lack of the secretion of hormones from the testicles in men and boys and the ovaries in women and girls. Hypogonadism can be from a deficiency of two hormones from the pituitary gland\u2014FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone)\u2014or from the failure of the testes or ovaries to make hormones.<\/p>\n
Impaired function of the testes or ovaries, causing absence or impairment of the secondary sexual characteristics.<\/p>\n
A condition characterized by underactivity of the testes or ovaries the gonads. The condition may be caused by a genetically based disorder resulting in an abnormally functioning gonad (primary hypogonadism) or by a malfunctioning pituitary gland that fails to produce an adequate amount of gonadotrophin hormone secondary hypogonadism. Those affected may fail to develop adequately the secondary characteristics of their sex: males will have delayed puberty, erectile impotence and infertility and also develop gynaecomastia; females also have delayed puberty, infertility, and sometimes hirsutism.<\/p>\n
The male gonads display a state of functional incompetence, characterized by the impaired synthesis of hormones and germ cells.<\/p>\n
