Evaluating Sperm Recovery Time and Efficacy of Monotherapy Combination Therapies in Men with Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: There is a lack of pooled data exploring the time and rates for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) monotherapy combination therapies (hCG+human menopausal gonadotropin or recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone) to restore spermatogenesis in azoospermic men with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH). We aimed to investigate the time and rates to recover spermatogenesis among azoospermic CHH men receiving monotherapy combination therapy.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following the PRISMA guidelines.
