Using hCG every three days in combination with clomiphene citrate 25mg per day until normal testosterone levels are reached, maintain the dose until spermatozoa are present.Results: The mean age was 30.2 ± 5.6. Differences in penis length between the time before and after treatment were significant (p=0.005). The average dose of hCG using in our study was 5579 ± 1773.7 IU. After treatment 6 months and 12 months, the changes in clinical features in all patients and the total hypogonadotropic hypogonadism group were statistically significant (p< 0.001). In particular, the differences in testosterone hormone levels in the partial hypogonadotropic hypogonadism group were also statistically significant (p=0.03). No adverse event was observed in our study. The number of patients appearing sperm in the semen is 9 patients (47.4%) after 12 months, but most of the sperm were completely deformed (< 1%), and the average motility in the progressive motility group was below 8%.Conclusion: In conclusion, a combination of hCG and clomiphene citrate may be an option for MHH patients who desired fertility. After 12 months, 47.4% of patients have sperm in semen but almost all of them were deformity. Hormone profile and secondary sexual characteristics improved significantly. There was no adverse event in our study that considered it as safe therapy.Keywords: male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, MHH, total HH, total hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, partital HH, partial hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, clomiphene citrate, CC, human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG, treatmenthttps://www.dovepress.com/evaluating-the-combination-of-human-chorionic-gonadotropin-and-clomiph-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-RRUmale hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (mhh)total hh: total hypogonadotropic hypogonadismpartital hh: partial hypogonadotropic hypogonadismclomiphene citrate (cc)human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg)treatment |
