Gonadotropin Stimulation Protocols

Meaning

Gonadotropin Stimulation Protocols refer to the structured regimens used to pharmacologically induce or augment the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. In clinical practice, these protocols are essential for stimulating gonadal function, particularly in fertility or specific forms of hypogonadism. The objective is to mimic or amplify the natural pulsatile release pattern of these tropic hormones. Precise timing and dosage are critical for therapeutic success.
