Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (endocrinology)

cryptorchidism

Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum. Cryptorchidism is often the cause of hormonal and reproductive dysfunction of the testicles.

Hyperprolactinemic hypogonadism

At present, much data has appeared on the influence of prolactin on the human reproductive system. It has been established that it actively influences the hormonal and spermatogenic functions of the testicles.

Craniopharyngioma

Craniopharyngioma is a congenital brain tumor that develops from embryonic cells, the so-called Rathke's pouch. It is usually a benign tumor that occurs at any age.

Secondary hypogonadism

Secondary hypogonadism, or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, most often occurs as a result of primary gonadotropic deficiency, which may be combined with deficiency of other pituitary tropic hormones.

Acquired primary hypogonadism

Acquired primary hypogonadism can have different genesis. It can be the result of infectious and inflammatory lesions of the testicles and/or their appendages.

Del Castillo syndrome

Del Castillo syndrome (Sertoli cell syndrome) is a rare disease. Patients do not differ from healthy men in sexual and physical development. Karyotype 46,XY.

Congenital primary hypogonadism

Congenital primary hypogonadism (anorchia, intrauterine anorchism, congenital anorchism) is an embryonic anomaly characterized by the absence of testicles in genotypically and phenotypically normal boys. Congenital primary hypogonadism is extremely rare (1/20,000).

Hypogonadism

Hypogonadism, or testicular insufficiency, is a pathological condition, the clinical picture of which is caused by a decrease in the level of androgens in the body, characterized by underdevelopment of the genitals, secondary sexual characteristics and, as a rule, infertility.

Virilizing ovarian tumors

Virilizing tumors (Latin virilis - male) are hormonally active neoplasms that secrete male sex hormones - androgens (T, A, DHEA). Virilizing ovarian tumors are a rare form of pathology. N. S. Torgushina has identified androblastomas in 0.09% of 2,309 ovarian tumors over 25 years.

Polycystic Ovaries - Information Overview

Stein-Leventhal syndrome (ovarian hyperandrogenism syndrome of non-tumor genesis, polycystic ovaries) is a disease that was identified as an independent nosological form by S.K. Lesnoy in 1928 and in 1935 by Stein and Leventhal.
