Before and after androgen replacement therapy prostatic and seminovesicular volume was estimated by means of transrectal ultrasonography in 13 hypogonadal men. Volume of the prostate (p less than 0.001) and seminal vesicles (p less than 0.01) significantly increased after treatment with testosterone enanthate. However, the plasma level of testosterone remained abnormally low. These results indicate that volume determination of the prostate and seminal vesicles by means of transrectal ultrasonography is suitable for evaluating the adequacy of androgen replacement therapy in male hypogonadism.
在13名性腺功能减退男性中，采用经直肠超声检查法评估雄激素替代治疗前后的前列腺和精囊体积。庚酸睾酮治疗后，前列腺体积（p<0.001）和精囊体积（p<0.01）显著增加。然而，睾酮的血浆水平仍异常低。这些结果表明，经直肠超声检查法测定前列腺和精囊体积适用于评估男性性腺功能减退患者雄激素替代治疗的充分性。
