Low Testosterone Causes

Meaning

Low Testosterone Causes encompass the varied etiological factors that result in the clinical syndrome of hypogonadism, characterized by insufficient production of the androgen testosterone. These causes are systematically categorized into primary testicular failure, which results in high gonadotropins, and secondary central dysfunction, which results from impaired hypothalamic-pituitary signaling. Factors range from genetic syndromes and physical trauma to chronic systemic diseases, increasing age, significant obesity, and the suppressive effects of various medications. Identifying the precise cause is essential for determining the correct and most effective therapeutic pathway.
