Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate testicular stiffness by shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) and to compare it with healthy controls.
Methods: In this prospective study, 35 patients with IHH (group 1) and 40 healthy controls (group 2) were evaluated. These two groups were compared in terms of age, testicular volume, and SWE values. In a subsequent analysis, IHH patients were divided into 3 groups: those who were newly diagnosed and did not receive any treatment (group A), those who received testosterone replacement (group B), and those who received human chorionic gonadotrophin alpha (hCG) (group C). Testicular volumes and SWE values were also compared between these subgroups.
Results: Testicular volumes were significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 (p
