Gonadal Axis Management

Meaning

Gonadal axis management is the clinical strategy focused on optimizing the function of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis to ensure healthy reproductive and anabolic hormone production. This involves the assessment and targeted intervention of the central (hypothalamus and pituitary) and peripheral (gonads) components to maintain optimal levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Effective management is crucial for sexual health, bone density, muscle mass, cognitive function, and overall vitality in both men and women across the lifespan.
