Overview
Hypogonadism may be classified according to the etiological site into three subtypes namely primary, secondary or combined. Hypogonadism can also be classified according to the age into two adult and child onset disease. Also, it could be classified based on the causes into acquired or congenital.[1]
Classification
- Based on the location, hypogonadism can be classified into:
- Primary: gonads (ovaries or testes) are the primary source of the pathology.
- Secondary (central): If the cause of the disease is the hypothalamus or pituitary.
- Combined
- Based on the age, hypogonadism can be classified into:
- Based on the causes of the disease, hypogonadism can be classified into:
- Acquired hypogonadism
- Congenital hypogonadism
