The Endocrinologists at our Dubai Park Heights medical centre treat a wide range of gonadal disorders in adults, including:<\/p>\n
The pituitary gland is responsible for luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones are responsible for controlling the production of the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone, as well as the maturing of sperm and eggs, and egg release. Gonadal disorders are caused when the production of sex hormones is abnormal.<\/p>\n
Your doctor will be able to advise you about your treatment options for your condition.<\/p>\n
Hypogonadism:<\/strong> this is when the sex glands (gonads) \u2013 testes in men and ovaries in women \u2013 produce little or no sex hormones. These sex hormones control development of the breasts and testes, growth of pubic hair, and are involved in menstruation and sperm production. It is usually treated with injections of sex hormones. There are two main types of hypogonadism:<\/p>\n Primary hypogonadism:<\/strong> means there is a problem with your glands, so even though the pituitary gland and hypothalamus are functioning, the gonads aren\u2019t able to produce enough sex hormones<\/p>\n Central hypogonadism<\/strong> (secondary hypogonadism) is when the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, which control the gonads, aren\u2019t functioning correctly so they aren\u2019t sending a message to the gonads to produce any sex hormones.<\/p>\n If you would like to know more about the gonadal disorder treatments we can offer, please get in touch.
