COMMON CAUSES OF PRIMARY HYPOGONADISM INCLUDE

  • Klinefelter syndrome: This condition is the result of congenital abnormality of the sex chromosomes, X and Y.  Normally males have the one X and one Y chromosome. But in Klinefelter syndrome, two or more X chromosomes are present along with one Y chromosome.  Y chromosome contains the genetic material which determines the sex of a child and related growth. Whereas extra X chromosome present in Klinefelter syndrome causes abnormal development of the testicles that results in insufficient production of testosterone.
  • Undescended testicles: Before birth, development of testicles occur inside the abdomen and normally move down into their permanent place in the scrotum. But sometimes one or both of the testicles may not be descended at birth. This condition often improves itself within the first few years of life without any treatment. If this problem don’t get resolve itself in the early childhood, it may lead to malfunction of the testicles and reduced production of testosterone.
  • Mumps orchitis:   Mumps infection which involves the testicles in addition to the salivary glands (mumps orchitis) during adolescence or adulthood may lead to the long-term testicular damage. It can affect normal testicular function and testosterone production.
  • Hemochromatosis: It is an iron disorder in which there is too much iron in the body. This disorder can lead to testicular failure or pituitary gland dysfunction and also affects the testosterone production.
  • Injury to the testicles: Testicles are prone to injury because they are situated outside the abdomen.  Damage to normally developed testicles can result in the hypogonadism (Primary testicular failure).
  • Cancer treatment: Radiation therapy or chemotherapy treatment of cancer may impair the testosterone and sperm production.
