What is Hypogonadism?
Hypogonadism is a condition in which the body produces insufficient sex hormones, affecting normal growth, puberty, reproductive health, and overall well-being. It can occur in both males and females and may lead to delayed puberty or hormonal imbalance.
Early diagnosis and proper hormonal treatment help improve physical development, energy levels, bone health, and quality of life.
