Serum levels of FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone, and estradiol in 46 infertile men with hyperprolactinemia were compared with the same in 50 infertile and 30 fertile men with normal serum prolactin levels. Serum FSH levels in hyperprolactinemic men were significantly higher than in the other groups, indicating disturbance of spermatogenic process among those men. Significantly raised serum LH levels were in infertile men with serum prolactin over 1000 U/liter. All men with hyperprolactinemia had significantly lower serum testosterone levels than other infertile and fertile men. Although serum testosterone was not under the lower limit of normal range and high LH levels demonstrated disturbance of Leydig cell function in hyperprolactinemic infertile men, serum estradiol levels were not different among investigated groups. Azoospermic men with raised serum prolactin had higher serum FSH and LH levels than oligospermic men with hyperprolactinemia. These data demonstrated disturbance in hypothalamopituitary-testicular axis in infertile men with hyperprolactinemia. Further studies of prolactin in males with reproductive failure could probably clear this problem.
