What is hypogonadism?
hypogonadism is a condition in which the function of the gon is disrupted, leading to a reduction in the production of sex hormones and potentially also when the germ cells are reduced. This condition is more commonly observed in men, although it can also occur in women. Hypogonadism may be associated with a number of causes, and treatment usually includes confirmation and resolution of the cause, if possible, and providing complementary hormones that will replace hormones that are not produced by gondes. If this situation manifests itself in childhood, it can disrupt puberty because sex hormones are not produced at the right levels. The genitals can also develop properly. In adults, hypogonadism can cause infertility and many other problems. VSECONDARY hypogonadism is a problem caused by the situation somewhere else in the body, such as a pituitary disorder that results in reduced hormone production, with fewer hormones reaching gonads. If Gonady does not receive enough signals from the pituitary, they can stop working or experience a reduction in the function.
This condition can be diagnosed with blood tests to control hormone levels. Testosterone in men is a hormone used as an indicator, and in women tests can be performed for hormones such as hormones stimulating follicles (FSH). People who have fertility problems are often given such tests as part of the diagnostic process, to eliminate hypogonadism as a potential cause of fertility problems. This can also be diagnosed as part of a larger medical problem such as KLINEFELTER or Turner syndrome.
Treatment of Hypogonadism Involves administration of testosterone to replace the hormone that is not produced by the body. The doctor can use blood tests to decide on a suitable dose and may take several attempts to get the dosage correctly. Doctors can also explore the potential treatment of the cause to see if hypogonadism can be resolved, allowing the body to produce hormones thatShe needs in itself.
changes in hormone levels are often considered a natural consequence of aging, which means that hypogonadism has sometimes not adopted in elderly patients. The doctor may feel that this problem is not a problem or confuses this condition with normal aging processes. Elderly patients may want to consult a gerontologist or endocrinologist who focuses on working with older patients to obtain a suitable diagnosis and treatment.
