Abstract
|
|
|
The effects of pulsatile GnRH therapy have been studied for the treatment of different forms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, including idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypogonadism developed as a result of treatment with combination
of
surgery and irradiation for pituitary or hypothalamic tumor. GnRH was administered subcutaneously in a dose of 10¥ìg every 2 hours with the pulsatile infusion pump. With GnRH therapy, all patients improved secretion of LH, FSH and testosterone.
Testicular volumes increased. Spermatogenesis was induced in 8 patients. Pulsatile GnRH therapy is an effective treatment for idicpathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and can have a role in hypogonadism previously treated with combination of
surgery and
irradiation for pituitary or hypothalamic tumor.
