Gonadotropin Requirements

Meaning

The specific physiological need or therapeutic dosage necessary for an individual to maintain adequate levels and function of gonadotropins, which include Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These requirements are highly individualized, depending on age, sex, and underlying hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis function. Clinical assessment of these requirements guides fertility treatments and management of hypogonadism.
