HPG Axis Resuscitation

Meaning

A specialized clinical intervention aimed at restoring the endogenous function of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, the primary neuroendocrine system controlling reproductive and sexual hormone production. Resuscitation strategies are typically employed in cases of secondary hypogonadism, where the goal is to stimulate the pituitary and hypothalamus to resume their natural signaling, rather than relying on long-term exogenous hormone replacement. This is a critical objective for preserving fertility and endogenous hormone production.
