Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in semen are lower than in blood without any correlation to sperm counts while seminal luteinizing hormone (LH) levels are higher than in blood though with minor values in oligozoospermia and azoospermia conditions. In addition, the FSH levels in semen appear well correlated to those in blood; this type of correlation emerges for LH only in azoospermic patients. The mechanisms which facilitate LH to enter into the semen could be uneffective when spermatogenesis is impaired. If so, undetectable levels of both FSH and LH in semen would indicate obstructive forms of azoospermia while increased levels of LH would indicate the return of a hormonal spermatogenic process in patients undergoing treatment for infertility conditions.
精液中的促卵泡激素（FSH）水平低于血液中的水平，且与精子计数无任何相关性，而精液中的促黄体生成素（LH）水平高于血液中的水平，不过在少精子症和无精子症情况下其值较小。此外，精液中的FSH水平似乎与血液中的FSH水平密切相关；仅在无精子症患者中，LH才会出现这种相关性。当精子发生受损时，促使LH进入精液的机制可能无效。如果是这样，精液中FSH和LH水平均检测不到则表明是梗阻性无精子症，而LH水平升高则表明接受不育症治疗的患者的激素精子发生过程正在恢复。
