What are the effects of Leuprolide on fertility in patients with hormonal disorders, and how does it impact ovarian or testicular function during and after treatment?
Leuprolide downregulates hormone production, initially increasing and then decreasing sex hormones. This suppresses ovarian and testicular function, potentially causing temporary infertility during treatment.
During treatment with Leuprolide, ovarian and testicular activity is reduced, leading to lower fertility. Post-treatment, normal function and fertility generally resume, but the timeline can vary.
Leuprolide use leads to a decrease in sex hormone levels, impacting fertility by temporarily halting ovarian and testicular function. Recovery of reproductive capabilities post-treatment can vary among individuals.
Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, reduces fertility by suppressing gonadal function. It lowers hormone levels, inhibiting ovarian and testicular activity. Recovery post-treatment varies, with most regaining normal function within months.
Leuprolide temporarily suppresses reproductive hormones, impacting fertility during treatment by halting ovarian or testicular function. Fertility typically resumes along with normal hormonal levels after discontinuation.
Administering Leuprolide leads to decreased reproductive hormone production, impairing fertility by pausing ovarian and testicular function. This effect is generally reversible after cessation of the therapy.
