Abstract
- Male infertility, due to pituitary or hypothalamic disease, which results in a deficiency of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, or both, is less common than that due to primary testicular damage, but should be eminently treatable by replacement of either or both of these hormones. Exogenous gonadotropin, or pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing, hormone is now commonly used to treat male infertility due to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Here, we report on a male patient with an acquired hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which developed after puberty, who underwent successful treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG).
