Primary and Secondary Hypogonadism in Men

Hypogonadism in men is a condition in which the testicles produce little or no testosterone, either because of a problem in the testicle itself (primary) or because of failures in the brain signals that regulate it (secondary).

Common symptoms: decreased sex drive, fatigue, mood changes, reduced muscle mass and, in some cases, fertility difficulties.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is usually the one who evaluates this condition, determines whether it is primary or secondary in origin, and guides the workup based on each person.

If you notice these changes persistently, it is a good idea to discuss it with a professional who can evaluate you comprehensively.
