Overview

Hypogonadism is commonly caused by congenital and acquired genetic and endocrinological conditions. Malignancies can be life threatening causes and should take priority when diagnosing the etiology.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

• Astrocytoma
• Chronic renal failure
• Papillary renal cell carcinoma 
• Postinfectious lesions of the central nervous system (cns)
• Ureter cancer 
• Urinary system cancer 
• Wilms tumor
• Infective endocarditis

Common Causes

• Anorchidism
• Chemotherapy
• Cryptorchidism
• FSH beta subunit mutation (follicle stimulating hormone)
• FSH receptor mutation
• Klinefelter Syndrome
• LH (luteinizing hormone) beta subunit mutation
• LH receptor mutation
• LH resistance
• Radiation therapy
• Sertoli-cell-only syndrome
• Testicular biosynthetic defects
• Autoimmune oophoritis
• Chemotherapy
• Familial and sporadic XX gonadal dysgenesis and its variants
• Familial and sporadic XY gonadal dysgenesis and its variants
• FSH beta subunit mutation (follicle stimulating hormone)
• FSH receptor mutation
• Galactosemia
• Glycoprotein syndrome type 1
• LH (luteinizing hormone) beta subunit mutation
• LH/human chorionic gonadotropin resistance
• LH receptor mutation
• Noonan Syndrome
• Premature menopause
• Polycystic ovarian disease
• Radiation therapy
• Resistant ovary
• Turner Syndrome
• Astrocytoma
• Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
• Congenital adrenal hypoplasia
• Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
• Craniofacial anomalies
• Craniopharyngioma
• Exercise-induced amenorrhea
• Functional gonadotropin deficiency
• Gaucher Disease
• Germinoma
• Head trauma
• Hyperprolactinemia
• Hypothalamic glioma
• Isolated FSH deficiency
• Isolated LH deficiency
• Kallmann Syndrome
• Langerhans histiocytosis
• Laurence-Moon Syndrome
• Marijuana use
• Optic glioma
• Other germ cell tumors
• Pituitary tumor
• Postinfectious lesions of the central nervous system (CNS)
• Prader-Willi Syndrome
• Radiation therapy
• Vascular abnormalities of the CNS
