Andrologie für die gynäkologische Praxis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gynäkologische Endokrinologie und Kinderwunschtherapie

Zusammenfassung

Unerfüllter Kinderwunsch ist das Resultat von weiblichen und männlichen Infertilitätsfaktoren. Bei mindestens der Hälfte der betroffenen Paare ist mit Fertilitätsstörungen aufseiten des Mannes zu rechnen, die auf verschiedenste Ursachen zurückzuführen sein können. Nach ihrer Lokalisation lassen sich Störungen der Hoden, der ableitenden Samenwege und akzessorischen Drüsen, der Samendeposition, des übergeordneten Hypothalamus-Hypophysen-Systems sowie seltene Androgenrezeptor- und Enzymdefekte unterscheiden. Männliche Infertilität kann hierbei der Endzustand sowohl angeborener als auch erworbener Erkrankungen sein; häufig liegen mehrere ätiopathogenetisch relevante Faktoren vor. Somit ist die Untersuchung des Mannes bei unerfülltem Kinderwunsch unverzichtbar, insbesondere auch vor Maßnahmen der assistierten Reproduktion. Bei nicht ausreichender gynäkologisch-andrologischer Kooperation besteht die Gefahr, dass aufseiten des Mannes gesundheitsrelevante Störungen unerkannt bleiben und kausale Therapieoptionen nicht genutzt werden.
