'''AFAB Hypogonadism '''or '''Müllerian''' '''Hypogonadism''' is an [[intersex]] variation - more specifically, a form of [[Hypogonadism|hypogonadism]] - leading to a reduction in the output of [[müllerian]] [[Sex|sex]] hormones including estrogen and progesterone in [[AFAB]] or otherwise [[CTF]] individuals, due to decreased functionality of the ovaries. Hypogonadism can be primary, meaning it's caused by a problem with the ovaries, or it can be secondary hypogonadism, meaning it's caused by a problem with the signals sent from the brain to the ovaries. |

One symptom includes the effects of low estrogen, which will cause one to not begin menstruation and will having slow or [[Secondary Sex Agenesis|absent breast growth]]. Those with acquired hypogonadism will stop menstruating and will experience symptoms of menopause, including lowered sex drive (unless they are on the [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spectrum]] already,) loss of body hair, and hot flashes. This will occasionally cause extra production in testosterone, which may caused more [[masculine]] or [[androgynous]] traits to develop. |
