Is it possible for malnutrition cause permanent side effects like hypogonadism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All reversible: The hormonal consequences of malnutrition are secondary to your pituitary gland shuting down to slow down or stop hormonal functions that are not necesary for survival like reproduction or growing. As soon as nutrtional status is restored all functions return.
