If left untreated, patients with hypogonadism will end up with [[infertility]] and [[rheumatic]] [[autoimmune diseases|autoimmune diseas]]. These autoimmune disease include [[Rheumatoid arthritis|rheumatic arthritis]] and [[systemic lupus erythematosus]]. Complications of hypogonadism depend on age and include [[ambiguous genitalia]] in the newborn, [[gynecomastia]], and [[Delayed puberty|delay of puberty]] in the prepubertal phase. Complications also include [[depression]] and [[Stroke|cardiovascular stroke]] in the adults. [[Prognosis]] of hypogonadism is regarded as good for patients who receive treatment and can have a normal life with appropriate medical therapy.
;Prognosis
 
Prognosis of hypogonadism depends on the cause. Many patients have a good prognosis after treatments.

Overview

If left untreated, patients with hypogonadism will end up with infertility and rheumatic autoimmune diseas. These autoimmune disease include rheumatic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Complications of hypogonadism depend on age and include ambiguous genitalia in the newborn, gynecomastia, and delay of puberty in the prepubertal phase. Complications also include depression and cardiovascular stroke in the adults. Prognosis of hypogonadism is regarded as good for patients who receive treatment and can have a normal life with appropriate medical therapy.

Prognosis

  • The prognosis of hypogonadism is good with treatment and patients can have a normal life with the appropriate medical therapy.[3]
