Alterations in the ultrasound appearance of seminiferous tubules after gonadotropin treatment in patients with azoospermia because of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Among patients with HH, a strong correlation was observed between the degree of spermatogenesis stimulated by gonadotropin and the alterations observed in the US images of their seminiferous tubules. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating alterations in spermatogenesis as intratesticular morphological changes, specifically enlargement of seminiferous tubules, by US imaging.
