Primary hypogonadism due to orchitis

Primary hypogonadism due to orchitis is an acquired form of male hypergonadotropic hypogonadism characterized by intrinsic testicular failure following severe inflammation or infection of the testes, most commonly viral mumps or severe bacterial epididymo-orchitis

Primary hypogonadism due to orchitis is an acquired form of male hypergonadotropic hypogonadism characterized by intrinsic testicular failure following severe inflammation or infection of the testes, most commonly viral mumps or severe bacterial epididymo-orchitis

The inflammatory injury damages the testicular parenchyma, resulting in destruction or dysfunction of androgen-producing Leydig cells and seminiferous tubules Affected patients typically present with testicular atrophy, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and impaired spermatogenesis

Clinically and pathophysiologically, this condition manifests in adult or adolescent males with subnormal circulating testosterone concentrations accompanied by a compensatory elevation in serum gonadotropins, specifically luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone
