Hypogonadism: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Hypogonadism is a condition where the body doesn't produce enough of the hormone testosterone. This can happen because of a problem with the testes or with the pituitary gland in the brain. There are two main types of hypogonadism:

• Primary hypogonadism means there is a problem with the testes. This could be from injury, infection, surgery, radiation treatment, or an inherited disorder. With age, the testes may also stop working well and lead to hypogonadism.
• Secondary hypogonadism indicates a problem with the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland makes a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) that tells the testes to make testosterone. If the pituitary gland doesn't work right, the testes don't get the message to produce enough testosterone.

Some common signs and symptoms of hypogonadism include:

Physical Symptoms	Psychological Symptoms
Low sex drive	Depressed mood
Erectile dysfunction	Fatigue and low energy
Reduced muscle mass and strength	Decreased motivation
Loss of body hair	Difficulty concentrating
Breast growth	Irritability

Hypogonadism can significantly impact a man's quality of life. It's important to see a doctor if these symptoms occur. A simple blood test can check testosterone levels. Treatment options for hypogonadism may include testosterone replacement therapy, such as injections, gels, or patches to get testosterone levels back to normal.

Injections	Testosterone is injected into the muscle every 1-2 weeks
