[Determination of LH and FSH levels before and after prostatic adenomectomy (author's transl)]

Plasma testosterone, LH, and FSH levels were measured in 29 patients with adenoma of the prostate, before and after adenomectomy. Blood testosterone levels showed significant variations which were probably related to operation stress, as after a moderate reduction--they returned to pre-operative levels. No significant modifications in plasma LH or FSH levels were observed.
