Eugonadism

Meaning

Eugonadism describes a physiological state in which the gonads—the testes in males and the ovaries in females—are functioning normally and producing appropriate, healthy levels of sex steroid hormones and gametes. This condition signifies a balanced and optimal functioning of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, ensuring proper reproductive and somatic health. Clinically, achieving and maintaining eugonadism is a primary goal in hormonal wellness, supporting vitality, bone density, and metabolic homeostasis.
