Hypogonadism
Table of Contents
General Information
The body of a person with hypogonadism produces lower-than typical levels of testosterone and estrogen, or sometimes none at all. This can effect the development of their secondary sex characteristics, and can also affect fertility. Hypogonadism can result in a difference in how someone's brain signals the gonads to produce (or not produce) hormones or it can be a feature of their gonads directly. Hypogonadism is not always caused by an intersex variation, but it can be related to Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, or several other variations.
