Overview

Classification

There are many possible types of hypogonadism and several ways to categorize them.

Congenital v/s Acquired

Hormones v/s Fertility

Hypogonadism can involve just hormone production or just fertility, but most commonly involves both.

  • Examples of hypogonadism that affect hormone production more than fertility are hypopituitarism and Kallmann syndrome; in both cases fertility is reduced until hormones are replaced but can be achieved solely with hormone replacement.
  • Examples of hypogonadism that affect fertility more than hormone production are Klinefelter syndrome and Kartagener syndrome.

Affected System

Hypogonadism is also categorized by endocrinologists by the level of the reproductive system which is defective.
