Summary

Preliminary reports showed that hormonal treatment may improve the chance of retrieving viable testicular sperm from men with NOA. It was generally believed that gonadotrophin treatment would be ineffective in the presence of high plasma levels of endogenous gonadotrophin.The purpose of this study is to determine whether GnRHa(gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist) combined with hCG(human chorionic gonadotropin) and hMG(human menopausal gonadotropin) are effective in the treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia.

Conditions

  • Azoospermia

Interventions

DRUG

GnRHa/ hCG/ hMG

GnRHa was injected subcutaneously at a dose of 3.6mg every 28 days for 5 months. After 2 months from the first GnRHa injection, all subjects were treated with hCG at a dose of 2000 IU once a week for 3 months. After 3 months from the first Goserelin injection, all subjects were treated with hMG at a dose of 150 IU every 3 days for 2 months.
