hypogonadism

Types of hypogonadism
  • 1) Primary Hypogonadism
  • This type of hypogonadism (also called primary
    testicular failure) is due to problems in the
    testicles. This secondary type of hypogonadism
    shows a problem with the hypothalamus or
    pituitary gland-the brain sends a signal to the
    testicles to produce testosterone.

2) Secondary Hypogonadism
  • The testicles are normal, but they do not
    function properly due to problems with the
    pituitary gland or hypothalamus. Many conditions
    can lead to secondary hypogonadism.

Treatment of hypogonadism
  • The standard treatment for hypothyroidism is the
    daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone
    levothyroxine (Levo-T, synthroid, etc.).
  • This oral restaurrationative medicine can
    complete hormone levels and reverse the signs and
    symptoms of hypothyroidism. They may get better
    soon after the start of treatment.
