What is hypogonadism, and what are its common signs and symptoms? I think I may be experiencing some of its indications. How can it be diagnosed and treated?

Hypogonadism is a condition where the body produces low levels of sex hormones, like testosterone in men or estrogen in women. Common signs include low energy, reduced muscle strength, low stamina, small testes (in men), decreased libido, erectile problems, mood changes, or delayed puberty. Diagnosis is usually done with blood tests to check hormone levels and a physical exam. Treatment often involves hormone replacement therapy under a doctor's guidance, along with lifestyle changes like proper diet, exercise, and managing stress.
