E23.3: Hypothalamic dysfunction, not elsewhere classified

Certain messenger substances (hormones) in your brain are not being formed correctly.

Many messenger substances in the body are controlled by a specific part of the brain. These messenger substances influence growth, metabolism and sex hormones, for example. This part of the brain is called the hypothalamus. Here, regulating messenger substances are formed.

In your case, the regulating messenger substances have changed.

Women may no longer be able to menstruate. Men may have erectile dysfunction.
