Male hypogonadism is characterized by the failure to produce testosterone or a decrease in the production of testosterone. This occurs when the testes fail to function normally because of a genetic defect, illness or injury or because of the failures of another hormonal gland. Whereas testosterone inhibits the growth of muscle and body hair, men with hypogonadism may experience late puberty (or not at all). In adults, the condition may have symptoms of low sexual drive, potency, sperm production or overall low body strength. For more information, see Testosterone.
