Abstract

Aging-related hypogonadism involves complex mechanisms in humans, predominantly relating to the decline of multiple hormones and senile gonads. Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) and erectile dysfunction (ED) are the main manifestations in men, while premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and menopause are the main forms in women. Anti-aging measures include lifestyle modification and resistance training, hormonal supplementation, stem cell therapy, metformin, and rapamycin. In this expert consensus, the mechanisms, efficacy, and side effects of stem cell therapy on aging gonadal function are reviewed. Furthermore, various methods of stem cell therapy, administered intravenously, intracavernously, and intra-ovarially, are exemplified in detail. More clinical trials on aging-related gonadal dysfunction are required to solidify the foundation of this topic.
