Gonadotrophin therapy for male infertility

Michelle Proctor

Male infertility contributes to 50% of infertility in couples. Around 39% of infertile men have idiopathic infertility (male infertility with an unknown cause or origin). Treatment with gonadotrophins – a type of hormone – has been used to treat idiopathic male infertility. This review did not find enough studies to draw strong conclusions about the use of gonadotrophins for the treatment of idiopathic male infertility. However, analysis of the results of the four included studies showed a significant increase in the pregnancy rates, during and within three months, after gonadotrophin treatment of men with idiopathic infertility.
