Can boys have endocrine disorders?

Will men have endocrine imbalance? Regarding this question, relevant personnel said that the answer is undoubtedly yes. Under normal circumstances, both men and women should maintain a balanced growth hormone in the human body, but if endocrine imbalance occurs, relevant treatment is needed.

Can men have endocrine imbalance?

Of course, because the body has an endocrine system, which metabolizes various growth hormones and works with the central nervous system to regulate the body's metabolism and endocrine system. Under normal circumstances, various growth hormones remain stable. If this balance is disrupted for some reason (too much or too little of a certain growth hormone), this will lead to endocrine imbalance and cause corresponding clinical symptoms.

Symptoms of endocrine imbalance in men:

1. Abnormal changes in male testicular endocrine system

Primary male testicular dysfunction is more common in Klinefelter syndrome, radiation damage, endotoxin damage, malnutrition, etc. Secondary male testicular dysfunction includes Kallmam syndrome and male pseudohermaphroditism caused by androgen protein kinase deficiency.

2. Adrenal gland disease

Addison's disease (adrenal hypofunction), Cushing's syndrome (aldosteronism), virilizing adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, aldosteronism and other diseases can all lead to male infertility.

3. Thyroid disease

Severe cases of low thyroid levels or high thyroid levels can affect reproductive function. When thyroid levels are low, testosterone production decreases, sperm conversion is inhibited, and male sexual dysfunction occurs. High thyroid levels are often accompanied by breast growth, low libido, and impotence in men.

4. Pituitary gland disease

The pituitary gland is more hyperactive, and in the early stage, there may be increased sexual desire and changes in body shape, which will then lead to low libido, semen abnormalities, impotence, and infertility. If the pituitary gland is not functioning well, such as pituitary tumors, inflammation, surgical damage, or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it will lead to low pituitary function, decreased sexual desire, decreased sexual ability, testicular atrophy, and sperm conversion obstruction. Pituitary tumors can increase the level of prolactin in the blood, affect the metabolism of LH, inhibit the spermatogenesis of the testicles, and produce impotence, which will lead to male infertility.
