Definition: Condition resulting from deficient gonadal functions, such as GAMETOGENESIS and the production of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES. It is characterized by delay in GROWTH, germ cell maturation, and development of secondary sex characteristics. Hypogonadism can be due to a deficiency of GONADOTROPINS (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) or due to primary gonadal failure (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism).

for male or female; do not routinely interpret hypogonadism in male as EUNUCHISM: use terminology of author
Examples Eunuchism; Kallmann Syndrome; Klinefelter Syndrome; Sexual Infantilism

Other names Hypogonadism, Hypogonadotropic; Hypogonadism, Hypergonadotropic; Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism; Hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism
