Never too late to bloom: an introduction to hypogonadism
Hypogonadism is when sexual glands called the gonads (the testes and the ovaries) fail to produce normal amounts of hormones such as oestrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. This causes the secondary physical sexual characteristics to be underdeveloped or never develop at all. This may also mean that a person who has hypogonadism may face fertility issues or brittle bones. In this article, expert endocrinologist and consultant physician Dr Sobia Arshad explains hypogonadism and its effects on the body.
