Study of FSH, LH and Testosterone in Azoospermia.
Professional Med J Jan ;9(1):19-20.

OBJECTIVES: To establish relationship between azoospermia and FSH, LH and testosterone levels SETTING: Department of Biochemistry, Nishtar Medical College, Multan. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 52 Male azoospermic patients were studied and their results were compared with 20 age matched healthy controls. RESULTS: Serum concentration of FSH was found to be significantly raised (P<0.001) in azoospermic patients. LH and testosterone concentrations did not show any significant change on comparison with controls. CONCLUSION: It may be concluded that supplementation of testosterone to the patients of azoospermia will be of no benefit as these patients already had normal levels of this hormone.
