What causes hypogonadism?
Hypogonadism is caused by the failure of the gonads, ovary in women, testis in men, to produce adult levels of the sex hormones. Hypogonadism may be a result of medication which suppresses the function of the gonads, or medication that causes the liver to metabolize the sex hormones faster than usual. Hypogonadism can also be the result of less of the sex hormones being produced by the adrenal gland (small gland on top of the kidneys). Gonad failure is what causes menopause in women.

Are there other forms of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism?
Yes. Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (which we will shorten to HH) covers a range of rare disorders that all result in the failure to enter puberty. Kallmann's syndrome is a specific form of HH in which the individual has no sense of smell. There are other forms of HH where the sense of smell is present but are still very similar to Kallmann's syndrome.

Is Testosterone therapy the only answer to Hypogonadism?
It depends on whether the Hypogonadism is Primary or Secondary. If it is secondary, there is a possibility that a pre-cursive hormone such as HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) would stimulate the body to produce it's own Testosterone. That avenue should be explored before looking at Testosterone therapy. Primary Hypogonadism will always attract Testosterone therapy. Central Hypogonadism is inevitably resolved with Testosterone therapy.
