Zusammenfassung

Die Unterfunktion der Hoden beim Mann wird als Hypogonadismus bezeichnet. Die daraus resultierenden Störungen konnen sowohl isolierte Defekte der endokrinen Funktionen (z. B. Androgenmangel) betreffen alsauch zu Veränderungen der exokrinen Hodenfunktion führen, wobei auch Kombinationen der funktionellen Ausfälle beider Systeme vorliegen können. Je nach Lokalisation der Veränderungen spricht man von primärem (testikulären) oder sekundärem Hypogonadismus (hypothalamo- hypophysärer Hypergonadismus, Tab. 6).
