This is a quick reply . Notes on most subjects will be added in arachnid notes in due course.


Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism


This refers to:


Absent or decreased gonadal function (testis or ovary) resulting from lack of the gonadal stimulating pituitary hormones; follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH )


Clinical Features of Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism


Absent or incomplete puberty


Decreased libido and erectile dysfunction


Amenorrhea


Dyspareunia (due to decreased vaginal lubrication)


Infertility


Decreased muscle strength


Diminished aggressiveness and drive (in men)


Osteoporosis


Euncuhoidal skeletal proprotions

Small testes and penis


Kallman’s syndrome ( in additon to above)


Anosmia or hyposmia

If clinical features were presented in the form of a best of five question , the features that would distinguish hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism from disease of the gonads would be the features associated with Kallman's syndrome.


This is a good idea for a question and I wil try and include such a question on the website.
