Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Whether caused by environmental factors, lesions, genetic mutations, drug interactions, or unknown origins, the path of the central causes of hypogonadism frequently leads back to the GnRH pulse generator. In some cases, the cause can be unequivocally traced to a single factor, such as some of the congenital syndromes previously described. In most instances, however, hypogonadism is occult or functional. Because of the wide spectrum and complexity of underlying causes, a definitive diagnosis, especially in functional causes of the disorder, is not always attainable. |
