Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypogonadism: It is also known as gonad deficiency. Hypogonadism is a condition that occurs when the sex glands or gonads (testes in men and ovaries in women) produce little or no hormones. When this condition happens in males, it is defined as low serum testosterone or andropause. There are two types of hypogonadism, namely primary and central. Primary hypogonadism is a condition where your gonads aren’t producing sufficient hormones due to an underlying problem. Central hypogonadism occurs when the hypothalamus and pituitary gland regions that control gonads do not work properly. Symptoms of hypogonadism in males include loss of body hair, muscle loss, abnormal breast growth, reduced growth of penis and testicles, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, and infertility. Symptoms of hypogonadism in females include lack of menstruation, slow or no breast growth, hot flashes, loss of body hair, and milky discharge from breasts.

Androgen deficiency: It is a condition that occurs when the body has low levels of male sex hormones, mainly testosterone. Androgen deficiency can occur due to testes problems and improper working of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. It is generally treated by testosterone replacement therapy.
