GlossaryHypogonadism (Low T)

condition where sex glands produce insufficient hormones

Hypogonadism is a medical condition where the body's sex glands, the testes in men and the ovaries in women, produce little or no hormones. This can lead to various symptoms such as reduced libido, infertility, and in some cases, hair loss. It can be caused by genetic factors, injury, or certain medical conditions, and often requires hormone replacement therapy for management.
