Gonadal Sufficiency Restoration

Meaning

Gonadal Sufficiency Restoration is the clinical objective of re-establishing the testes or ovaries to their optimal functional capacity, enabling them to produce adequate, physiological levels of endogenous sex steroids and gametes. This process is crucial for hormonal balance, reproductive health, and the maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics, especially in cases of secondary hypogonadism or age-related decline. Achieving restoration aims to avoid lifelong reliance on exogenous hormone administration by revitalizing the native endocrine gland function. This is a regenerative approach to hormonal health.
