Hypogonadism

Hypogonadism is a medical condition where your body isn't making enough of the hormones it needs to keep you healthy. The hormone your body needs more of is called testosterone and it's important for both men and women. Men need testosterone to grow facial and body hair, make sperm, and build their muscles. Women need testosterone too, but in smaller amounts to help their bones stay strong and healthy. When you have hypogonadism, your body isn't making enough testosterone, so your body won't be able to do all of the things it needs to do. You can get treatment for hypogonadism so you can start making the right amount of hormones again.
