Wikipedia

  1. eunuchoidism

    Hypogonadism means diminished functional activity of the gonads—the testes or the ovaries—that may result in diminished production of sex hormones. Low androgen (e.g., testosterone) levels are referred to as hypoandrogenism and low estrogen (e.g., estradiol) as hypoestrogenism. These are responsible for the observed signs and symptoms in both males and females. Hypogonadism, commonly referred to by the symptom "low testosterone" or "Low T", can also decrease other hormones secreted by the gonads including progesterone, DHEA, anti-Müllerian hormone, activin, and inhibin. Sperm development (spermatogenesis) and release of the egg from the ovaries (ovulation) may be impaired by hypogonadism, which, depending on the degree of severity, may result in partial or complete infertility. In January 2020, the American College of Physicians issued clinical guidelines for testosterone treatment in adult men with age-related low levels of testosterone. The guidelines are supported by the American Academy of Family Physicians. The guidelines include patient discussions regarding testosterone treatment for sexual dysfunction; annual patient evaluation regarding possible notable improvement and, if none, to discontinue testosterone treatment; physicians should consider intramuscular treatments, rather than transdermal treatments, due to costs and since the effectiveness and harm of either method is similar; and, testosterone treatment for reasons other than possible improvement of sexual dysfunction may not be recommended.

  1. eunuchoidism

    Eunuchoidism is a medical condition characterized by deficiency or absence of male sexual hormones, leading to incomplete development or lack of development of secondary sexual characteristics, infertility, and other physical and psychological abnormalities, typically resembling a castrated male. This condition can be due to a natural deficiency, surgical removal of the testicles, or the result of disease or injury. It can also involve disproportionately long arms and legs compared to the trunk, reduced body hair, gynecomastia, and a high-pitched voice. It is essentially a form of hypogonadism.
