title: [Combined administration of human chorionic gonadotropin and human menopausal gonadotropin in idiopathic male infertility].
abstract: Changes in sex hormone levels, testicular volume and sperm count during hCG/hMG therapy were studied in 44 cases of idiopathic male infertility. These patients were divided into two groups and treated for 12 weeks. In group I, which consisted of 5 cases of azoospermia, 10 cases of severe oligozoospermia (less than 10 X 10(6)/ml) and 12 cases of mild oligozoospermia (10-50 X 10(6)/ml), 1,000 IU of hCG and 75 IU of hMG were both administered once a week. In group II, which consisted of 3 cases of azoospermia, 7 cases of severe oligozoospermia and 7 cases of mild oligozoospermia, 1,000 IU of hCG and 150 IU of hMG were both administered once a week. After 12 weeks, increase in sperm count was observed in 7 cases (26%) in group I and 4 cases (24%) in group II. Pregnancy was ensued in 4 cases in group I. There was no significant changes in testicular volume or sex hormone levels during hCG/hMG therapy.
