Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Support

Meaning

A clinical strategy focused on modulating and enhancing the function of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, the central neuroendocrine pathway regulating reproductive and sexual hormone production. Support aims to restore optimal communication between the hypothalamus, which releases Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), the pituitary, which releases Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and the gonads, which produce sex steroids. This intervention is crucial for managing conditions like hypogonadism and optimizing fertility and vitality.
