Hyperandrogenism, especially high levels of testosterone, can cause serious adverse effects if left untreated. High testosterone levels are associated with other health conditions such as obesity, hypertension, amenorrhea (cessation of menstrual cycles), and ovulatory dysfunction, which can lead to infertility.
The most common reason for high serum FSH concentration is in a female who is undergoing or has recently undergone menopause. High levels of FSH indicate that the normal restricting feedback from the gonad is absent, leading to an unrestricted pituitary FSH production. FSH may contribute to postmenopausal osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease ...
Although postmenopausal, the mother with this milder form of Sheehan's syndrome does not experience hot flushes, because the pituitary fails to secrete FSH (high levels of FSH, secreted by the pituitary in healthy postmenopausal women is an attempt to trigger ovulation, and these high levels of FSH cause hot the flushes).
Menopur, 5 mL vials containing 75 IU FSH and 75 IU LH. Repronex, vials containing either 75 IU FSH and 75 IU LH, or 150 IU FSH and 150 IU LH. Common side effects of preparations containing FSH and LH are: [4] Mild bloating; Pain, swelling, or irritation injection site; Rash at injection site or other part of body; Stomach pain or pelvic pain
Tailoring the dosage of gonadotrophin administration to AMH level has been shown to reduce the incidence of excessive response and cancelled cycles. [5] Elevated basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels imply a need of more ampoules of gonadotropins for stimulation, and have a higher cancellation rate because of poor response. [11]
A tiny fraction of patients may still have measurable sperm levels. [1] About 90% of those with Sertoli cell-only syndrome have elevated FSH levels, usually two to three times the normal amount. [1] Testicular biopsy is the only way to confirm non-obstructive azoospermia and Sertoli cell-only syndrome. [1]
To prevent unnecessary adverse effects, cabergoline should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider who can address any underlying causes of high prolactin levels.
The surge of GnRH/LH/FSH in non KS/HH children gives detectable levels of testosterone in boys and oestrogen and progesterone in girls. The lack of this surge can sometimes be used as a diagnostic tool if KS/HH is suspected in a newborn boy, but is not normally distinct enough for diagnosis in girls.
