Testosterone Induced Hypogonadism

Meaning

Testosterone Induced Hypogonadism describes a physiological state where the body’s natural production of testosterone is suppressed or significantly reduced as a direct consequence of administering exogenous testosterone. This condition represents a form of secondary hypogonadism, arising from the body’s feedback mechanisms responding to external hormonal input rather than a primary dysfunction within the testes themselves. It is a common and expected outcome when supraphysiological or even physiological doses of external testosterone are introduced into the system.
