THE GONADOTROPIC AND THE GONADOTROPIC-LIKE FACTOR IN THE TREATMENT OF MALE STERILITY

From the Department of Surgery, Rush Medical College of the University of Chicago, and the Presbyterian Hospital CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

Abstract

This is a presentation of clinical observations on the effect obtained from the use of the gonadotropic principle and the extract of pregnancy urine in 20 sterile male patients who had azoospermia, oligospermia, or necrospermia. The condition was discovered in examining the spermatozoa of the patients whose wives had sought advice from obstetricians either because of a sterile marriage, or because pregnancy had not occurred in several years. Recognizing that there are many causes for sterility in the male, we selected only those patients in whom no apparent cause for sterility could be discovered, or those in whom the sterility was due to a unilateral or bilateral testicular atrophy.
