Herbal Remedies for Hypogonadism and Kallmann Syndrome
ABSTRACT
Pituitary gland is an endocrine gland which is pea-sized and is situated in the middle of the base of the skull. Pituitary gland is protected in the bony cavity known as sella turcica and it plays an important role in regulating the hormone levels. There are hormones secreted by the pituitary gland and one of these are Gonadotropins which helps in stimulating gonads or sex glands to regulate the reproductive functions. In females these glands are called ovaries whereas in males it is known as Follicle-stimulating hormones. Gonadotropin includes Follicle stimulating hormone and Luteinizing hormones which helps in enhancing the functioning of testes and ovaries. When this hormone does not work properly then it gives rise to a condition known as Hypogonadism and through this article we are going to discuss it more in detail.
INTRODUCTION
Hypogonadism is defined as when the function of both testes and ovaries are diminished and they do not produce enough sex hormone. Sex hormones are also responsible for regulating production of sperms and menstrual cycle. Hypogonadism results in low levels of estrogen which is referred to as hypoestrogenism whereas the low levels of androgen is called hyperandrogenism. Sex hormones help in controlling secondary characteristics like development of breast in females and in males testicular development as well as pubic hair growth. According to American College of Physician in January 2020, it was ruled out that Men are more affected by Hypogonadism as compared to Women. Hypogonadism is divided into different parts and one is the Affected system which includes Kallmann Syndrome.

It is the condition which causes hypogonadotropic hypogonadism where the along with sex organs the sense of smell is also effected. In this condition the sense of smell is completely diminished known as Hyposmia or it is completely absent which is called anosmia. Males are more affected as compared to females and 1 in every 30,000 males are affected with Kallmann whereas One in every 120,000 females.
