İdiopatik hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm nedenlierkek infertilitesinde gonadotropin tedavisinindeğerlendirilmesi

AMAÇ: İdiopatik hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm (IHH) tanısı konu lan infertil erkeklerde human koryonik gonadotropin (hCG)/humanmenopozal gonadotropin (hMG) tedavisinin etkinliğini ve klinik so nuçlarını değerlendirmek. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEMLER: Ocak 2017 – Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasındaIHH tanısı konulan 60 hastanın tedavi öncesi ve sonrası verileri ret rospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalar gebelik elde edilen ve edilemeyenlerolarak iki gruba ayrılarak yaş, vücut kitle indeksi (VKI), testis hacimle ri, tedavi sonrası saptanan maksimum serum total testosteron, folikülstimüle edici hormon (FSH) ve lüteinleştirici hormon (LH) değeri iletedavide uygulanan ortalama hCG ve hMG dozları ve sperm konsant rasyonları karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Tedavi sonrası 3. ve 6. ayda hormonal parametreler ve testisvolümünde anlamlı düzelme saptandı (p

Evaluation of gonadotropin therapy in male infertility caused by idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and clinical results of humanchorionic gonadotropin (hCG)/human menopausal gonadotropin(hMG) treatment in infertile men diagnosed with idiopathichypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). MATERIAL and METHODS: The pre and post treatment data of 60patients diagnosed with IHH between January 2017 and December2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided intotwo groups as those with or without pregnancy. Age, body mass index(BMI), testicular volumes, maximum serum total testosterone, folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) valuesmeasured after treatment, and mean hCG and hMG doses and spermconcentrations were compared. RESULTS: After the treatment, there was a significant improvement inhormonal parameters and testicular volume (p
