2 HYPOGONADISM Definition Non specific term for decreased testicular or ovarian function that could include a disorder of gamete production or function and sex hormone production or action. Usually, male hypogonadism indicates testicular failure associated with androgen deficiency. HW Gordon Baker Clinical Management of Male Infertility Endocrinology 5 th Ed. (2006). DeGroot L & Jameson JL (eds) Elsevier Saunders, Philadelphia, PA, USA
