Abstract
Out of 49 patients who received gonadotropic therapy, 29 presented with FSH less than 1.5 mIU/ml and 20 had more than 1.5 mIU/ml. The success rate (as determined by semen analysis) in the former group was 86% (25 patients - 22 of those patients fathered one or more children) and in the latter -5% (only 1 patient). The mean FSH level in the 20 patients who showed improvement following HMG/hCG therapy was 0.9 mIU/ml and in the 25 patients in whom gonadotropic therapy was ineffective - 2 mIU/ml.
