(2) Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis abnormality: If testicular function is normal but the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is abnormal, such as reduced pituitary function, then topical gonadotropins should be used for treatment, and the commonly used one is human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections are given to restore serum testosterone to normal levels.
In addition, some patients may take certain androgen-lowering drugs for a long time due to disease factors, such as leuprolide, goserelin, etc., and need to stop the relevant drugs to restore the normal state of androgen.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital in time for consultation, and after clarifying the cause of the disease, carry out the corresponding treatment according to the cause, and do not blindly self-medication or stopping the medication.
