Gonadotropin Stimulation

Meaning

Gonadotropin stimulation is the therapeutic administration of exogenous gonadotropin hormones, specifically Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), to intentionally promote and regulate the function of the gonads (ovaries or testes). This is a core intervention in reproductive endocrinology, primarily utilized to induce follicular development and ovulation in women or to stimulate spermatogenesis and testosterone production in men. Precise dosing and monitoring are required to achieve controlled physiological responses.
