Endocrine factors represent an important and potentially treatable cause of sexual dysfunction. The availability of a correct endocrinological diagnosis allows correct identification of most cases of sexual dysfunction in which the endocrine apparatus is involved. Not only the most frequent causes of endocrine sexual dysfunction, such as hypogonadism and hyperprolactinemia, but almost all extra-gonadal endocrinopathies (hyper- and hypothyroidism, hyper- and hypocortisolism, steroidal secreting tumors, etc.) may play a role to a greater or lesser extent in sexual function. It is therefore necessary that the diagnostic process for sexual dysfunctions of an endocrine nature be as integrated and wide as possible, especially as such pathologies are usually extremely responsive to medical or surgical therapy.
内分泌因素是性功能障碍的一个重要且可能可治疗的原因。正确的内分泌诊断有助于准确识别大多数涉及内分泌系统的性功能障碍病例。不仅是内分泌性性功能障碍最常见的原因，如性腺功能减退和高催乳素血症，几乎所有性腺外内分泌疾病（甲状腺功能亢进和减退、皮质醇增多症和皮质醇减少症、类固醇分泌肿瘤等）都可能在不同程度上影响性功能。因此，对于内分泌性性功能障碍的诊断过程必须尽可能全面和广泛，特别是因为这类病症通常对药物或手术治疗反应良好。
