Gonadal Deficiency

Starting with the specialist helps you get your bearings: the gynecologist, together with the endocrinologist, manages gonadal deficiency, a condition in which the ovaries or testicles do not produce enough sex hormones or reproductive cells.

What it involves: the gonads regulate functions such as sexual maturation, fertility, and hormonal balance, so their reduced activity can affect various aspects of health and overall well-being.

Possible signs: changes in the menstrual cycle, changes in pubertal development, decreased sexual desire, fatigue, or difficulty achieving pregnancy.

When to see a doctor? If you notice persistent hormonal changes or have questions about development or fertility, it is wise to seek an evaluation. Talking openly with the gynecologist allows the cause of the deficiency to be studied and each case to be clarified.
