What is the youngest age a male could know that he has hypogonadism?!
Question: congenital, it can be seen at birth. upon develepmental stages it can be diagnosed later and up to age two. any concern of lack of dropping of testicles would be observed over period of time durring the first year.
Deficiency of sex hormones can result in defective primary or secondary sexual development, or withdrawal effects (e.g., premature menopause) in adults.
There are many possible types of hypogonadism and several ways to categorize them.
[edit] by Congenital vs. acquired
An example of congenital hypogonadism (present at birth) is Turner syndrome.
An example of acquired hypogonadism (develops in childhood or adult life) is castration.
[edit] by Hormones vs. fertility
Hypogonadism can involve just hormone production or just fertility, but most commonly involves both.
Examples of hypogonadism that affect hormone production more than fertility are hypopituitarism and Kallmann syndrome; in both cases, fertility is reduced until hormones are replaced but can be achieved solely with hormone replacement.
Examples of hypogonadism that affect fertility more than hormone production are Klinefelter syndrome and Kartagener syndrome.
[edit] by Affected system
Hypogonadism is also categorized by endocrinologists by the level of the reproductive system that is defective.
Hypogonadism resulting from defects of the gonads is traditionally referred to as primary hypogonadism. Examples include Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome.
Hypogonadism resulting from hypothalamic or pituitary defects are termed secondary hypogonadism or central hypogonadism (referring to the central nervous system).
Examples of Hypothalamic defects include Kallmann syndrome.
Examples of Pituitary defects include hypopituitarism.
An example of a hypogonadism resulting from hormone response is androgen insensitivity syndrome.
Low Testosterone can be identified through a simple blood test performed by a physician. Normal testosterone levels range from 298 - 1098 ng/dl.
go get tested =)

What is hypogonadism?
Umm, probably when he first sees some guy masturbating in porn and then tries it himself and finds that he can't do anything.
