What is it about?

This paper describes the function of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and its regulation of male reproduction. Using a developmental perspective can help clinicians better understand the neuroendocrine causes of secondary infertility in males. Tailored treatment options are reviewed as well as the role of the nurse in delivering patient-centered care for these patients.
