A member asked:

Can non functional pituitary tumors cause hypergonadism instead of hypogonadism depending on the location they're found?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely.: The nonfunctional tumors are truly non functional. There growth causes symptoms due to compression of the functioning normal pituitary
