  Nevertheless, the most common manifestations are virilizing effects, clinically evident as hirsutism or androgenic alopecia. Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea and ultrasound-evident polycystic ovaries may also be present [ 2, 9, 10 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Developmental Delay

  This developmental delay was never brought under the attention of any health worker. On examination the patient was in a good general condition, with normal vital signs. A malar rash was evident. [ispub.com]

• Swelling

  They include gum or mouth irritation, pain, and swelling (edema), bitter taste and headache. Abnormal breast development (gynecomastia) may also occur. Patients should report persistent gum abnormalities to their physician [ 63 - 66 ]. [omicsonline.org]

• Hyposmia

  BACKGROUND: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is classified as Kallmann syndrome (KS) with anosmia/hyposmia or normosmic (n)CHH. Here, we investigated the genetic causes and phenotype-genotype correlations in Japanese patients with CHH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Anosmia or hyposmia is related to the absence or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. [genecards.org]

  Isolated or apparently isolated forms (i.e., Kallmann syndrome with anosmia or hyposmia not spontaneously expressed by the patients) of these diseases are most of the time discovered during adolescence or in adulthood in reason of lacking, incomplete [em-consulte.com]

  Hypothalamic-pituitary function is otherwise normal in most patients, and hypothalamic-pituitary imaging reveals no space-occupying lesions. [3] By definition, either anosmia (lack of the sense of smell) or severe hyposmia is present in patients with [atmph.org]

  HH may occur with anosmia/hyposmia (Kallmann Syndrome, KS), or without it (normosmic HH, nHH). [journals.plos.org]

• Hearing Impairment

  Zoom Finally, the presence of non-reproductive non-olfactory additional disorders, including mirror movements, palate anomalies, renal agenesis (ultrasonography), hearing impairment (audiometric testing), and tooth agenesis, should be carefully searched [em-consulte.com]

  The latter are suggested to represent a mild end of CHARGE phenotypic spectrum due to overlapping features of these syndromes such as hypogonadism, anosmia, cleft lip and palate, hearing impairment, and semicircular canal hypoplasia [32], [33]. [journals.plos.org]

• Decrease in Height

  During childhood, growth appears to be normal, and following the decrease in height SDS due to sex steroid deficiency during adolescence, a final height consistent with MPH is reached. [nature.com]

• Loss of Libido

  Loss of libido was one of the many symptoms Jesse and his parents blamed directly on Roaccutane. [rxisk.org]

  At presentation, patients complained of sexual dysfunction and/or fertility problems, loss of libido or infertility, and erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction (diminished erectile quality and frequency; diminished early morning erections; decreased or watery [mjhid.org]

  None of 23 women with hemochromatosis had loss of libido or had a natural menopause before age 45. [jeffreydachmd.com]

• Difficulty Concentrating

  These may include: Fatigue Decreased sex drive Difficulty concentrating Hot flashes When to see a doctor See a doctor if you have any symptoms of male hypogonadism. [mayoclinic.org]

The patient had brought in his complete file with workups from the eight previous physicians, which included normal pulmonary function tests, normal EKG and Holter monitor evaluation, normal echocardiography, normal chemistry, complete blood count, urine [healio.com]

Diagnosis and Treatment After our usual workup, and the obvious diagnosis of hyopogonadal hypogonadism, treatment was started with HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), an LH analog which stimulates testicular testosterone production. [jeffreydachmd.com]

Duration of treatment cycle will be up to 14 days, or maximum of 21 days (if follicular maturation is imminent, based upon follicular growth and E2 levels). Total duration will be of 3 treatment cycles. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Basal serum inhibin B levels were slightly higher before transdermal estradiol treatment (phase 1) than during estrogen treatment (phase 2) in both subjects. [jeffreydachmd.com]

Cancer treatment. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer can interfere with testosterone and sperm production. The effects of both treatments often are temporary, but permanent infertility may occur. [mayoclinic.org]

I am currently not on testosterone treatment. Instead, I take hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). [kallmannsyndrome.wordpress.com]

In these cases, the correction of hypogonadism neither affects the progress of the disease nor improves prognosis 24. [ispub.com]

Prognosis Many forms of hypogonadism are potentially treatable and have a good prognosis. Prevention People should maintain normal body weight and have healthy eating habits to prevent anorexia nervosa. Other causes may not be preventable. [healthofchildren.com]
