ABSTRACT: Methods: This was a retrospective study in the Reproductive Medicine Department of the Dalal Jamm National Hospital. We collected two cases for which we collected sociodemographic data, circumstances of discovery, results of additional examinations that confirmed the diagnosis, as well as therapeutic and evolutionary data. Results: Delay in diagnosis was the rule, with an average age at diagnosis of 22.5 years. The main reason for consultation was the desire to become pregnant. The management of infertility is based on stimulations with gonadotropins, stimulations that have allowed the recruitment of follicles in both. However, the great particularity of the stimulation was the use of high doses of gonadotropins (response obtained only with 150IU of FSHr + LHr) which, in terms of cost, constituted an obstacle to the continuation of the treatment. Conclusion: Female hypogonadism remains a rare pathology and its late diagnosis in our practice is linked to a delay in the first consultation. Amenorrhea is the most common reason for consultation.
