Male hypogonadism is associated with poor sexual function. Testosterone therapy via the intramuscular route is the preferred treatment but is associated with secondary polycythemia. We report a patient in whom clomiphene citrate improved hypogonadal symptoms and restored normal free testosterone levels. Clomiphene is inexpensive and can be given orally in secondary hypogonadism. Clomiphene citrate is a promising alternative in patients who develop secondary polycythemia with testosterone.
男性性腺功能减退与性功能不佳有关。经肌肉注射途径进行睾酮治疗是首选治疗方法,但会引发继发性红细胞增多症。我们报告了一例患者,枸橼酸氯米芬改善了性腺功能减退症状并恢复了游离睾酮水平正常。氯米芬价格低廉,可用于继发性性腺功能减退的口服给药。对于因睾酮治疗而发生继发性红细胞增多症的患者,枸橼酸氯米芬是一种有前景的替代药物。
