- Hypogonadism is a medical term for decreased functional activity of the gonads. The gonads (ovaries or testes) produce hormones (testosterone, estradiol, antimullerian hormone, progesterone, inhibin B, activin) and gametes (eggs or sperm).
- Inadequate gonadal function as manifested by deficiencies in sperm production in males or egg production in females and/or the secretion of gonadal hormones (estrogens and androgens, respectively).
- Inadequate ovarian or testicular function as shown by low sperm production or lack of follicle production, as well as low or absent levels of FSH and LH.
- A condition characterized by extremely low levels of testosterone.
- The medical condition caused by low testosterone (Low T), which means the body doesn't make enough testosterone; Low T may affect mood, muscle mass, bone mineral density, and sexual function.
