Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in. Kallman s syndrome is a form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism where the basic defect is in hypothalamus and pituitary. Fertility is the main issue that has to be considered before marriage. Testosterone deficiency can be treated by exogenous testostrrone injections which can take care of our sexual and erectile functions and libido. But testosterone wouldnt increase sperm counts. For increasing sperm counts you will need combination of hcg and fsh injections. But even with that chances of fertility are 20 to 30%. No food habits or exercises are going to improve gonadotrophin levels because its a genetic defect. That cant happen. I suggest that you discuss the fertility issue with your partner before marriage. If fertility is not a concern for you then there is no contraindication for marriage. You can definiltely get married.
Hope this helps
