Hormone Replacement Therapy
Pharmacological replacement or modulation of gonadotropins (FSH/LH) based on specific deficiency or imbalance patterns identified through testing.
Hormonal Panel and Imaging
Comprehensive endocrine evaluation including serial gonadotropin measurements and pelvic ultrasound to assess treatment response and rule out pathology.
Additional treatment options
Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Evaluation
If structural abnormality suspected, surgical consultation for pituitary imaging and potential intervention for tumors or masses affecting gonadotropin secretion.
surgicalStress Management and Weight Optimization
Lifestyle modifications including stress reduction and maintaining healthy weight, as both factors significantly influence gonadotropin regulation.
lifestyleReproductive Health Counseling
Psychological support and counseling for fertility concerns or symptoms related to gonadotropin abnormalities, addressing emotional and relational impacts.
