Summary
Hypogonadism is a common condition in the male population, with a higher prevalence in older men, obese men, and men with type 2 diabetes. It is a combination of low testosterone levels and the presence of any of these symptoms, and can be caused by a problem with the testes or with the signal from the brain that controls testosterone secretion.
