[Gonadotropin treatment in corpus luteum insufficiency-induced functional sterility]

The authors report on gonadotropin treatment of 91 women who were infertile due to luteal dysfunction. As an effect of treatment there was an improvement of the corpus luteum function in 77 patients (84.6%), and 30 of them (33.0%) became pregnant. Application of HCG is recommended in cases if clomiphene treatment proved ineffective previously. Application of FSH and HCG is recommended at low level of estrogen.
