title: Plasma levels of testosterone, LH and FSH after prostatic adenomectomy.
abstract: Changes in blood testosterone, LH and FSH induced by the surgical management of BPH were studied. It is felt that the observation of depressed testosterone and enhanced LH mean levels one year after surgery, substantiates a previously advanced personal view that hyperplastic nodules are heavy consumers of testosterone.
