Male Reproductive Endocrinology

Meaning

Male Reproductive Endocrinology is the specialized branch of endocrinology that focuses on the complex hormonal regulation of the male reproductive system, including spermatogenesis, sexual differentiation, and the maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics. It primarily involves the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal or HPG axis and the key hormones luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone. Clinical practice in this area addresses conditions like hypogonadism, infertility, and age-related hormonal changes.
