Hypogonadism

Hypogonadism is a medical term for a defect of the reproductive system that results in lack of function of the gonads . The gonads have two functions: to produce hormones , activin and to produce gametes . Deficiency of sex hormones can result in defective primary or secondary sexual development, or withdrawal effects in adults. Defective egg or sperm development results in infertility.The term hypogonadism is usually applied to permanent rather than transient or reversible defects, and usually implies deficiency of reproductive hormones, with or without fertility defects. The term is less commonly used for infertility without hormone deficiency. (From the Wikpedia article Hypogonadism.)
