Clin Case Rep. 2020 Aug 10;8(9):1824-1826. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2873. eCollection 2020 Sep.

Abstract

Hypogonadism as a cause of depression, daytime sleepiness, and flushing is often missed in young males. Our case report highlights the importance of screening for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and its treatment in symptomatic men with severe obesity, especially if they have depression, excessive sleepiness, and narcolepsy.

Keywords: hot flushes; hypogonadism; narcolepsy; severe obesity.
