Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (endocrinology)

Cryptorchidism

Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testicles are not lowered into the scrotum. Cryptorchidism is often the cause of the disruption of the hormonal and reproductive function of testicles.

Hyperprolactinemic hypogonadism

Now there is a lot of data on the effect of prolactin on the human reproductive system. It is established that it actively affects the hormonal and spermatogenic functions of the testicles.

Craniopharyngioma

Craniopharyngioma is a congenital brain tumor that develops from embryonic cells, the so-called Ratke pocket. This is usually a benign tumor that occurs at any age.

Secondary hypogonadism, or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, most often occurs as a result of primary gonadotropic insufficiency, which can be combined with insufficiency of other tropic hormones in the pituitary gland.

Acquired primary hypogonadism

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

Syndrome del Castillo

Syndrome del Castillo (Sertoli-cell syndrome) is an infrequent disease. Patients in sexual and physical development do not differ from healthy men. Karyotype 46, XY.

Congenital primary hypogonadism

Congenital primary hypogonadism (anarchy, intrauterine anorhism, congenital anorhism) is an embryonic abnormality characterized by a lack of testicles in normal boys and boys with the genotype and phenotype. Congenital primary hypogonadism is extremely rare (1/20000).

Hypogonadism

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

Virilizing tumors of the ovaries

Virilizing tumors (Latin virilis - masculine) are hormonal-active neoplasms that secrete male sex hormones - androgens (T, A, DHEA). Virilizing tumors of the ovaries are a rare form of pathology. N. S. Torgushin for 25 years revealed androblastomy in 0.09% of 2309 ovarian tumors.

Polycystic Ovaries: An Overview of Information

Stein-Leventhal syndrome (syndrome of ovarian hyperandrogenia of non-tumorous genesis, polycystic ovaries) is a disease that is isolated in an independent nosological form by SK Lesniy in 1928 and in 1935 by Stein and Leventhal.
