Sex hormone	Tramadol only N = 26	Tramadol and other substances N = 41	p-value

LH (m IU/ml)	4.3 ± 2.77	4.9 ± 2.19	0.33
FSH (m IU/ml)	3.68 ± 2.55	3.8 ± 3.01	0.86

P-value of independent T-test < 0.05* is statistically significant. N = number. Normal range for total testosterone (2.62–15.9 ng/ml), for LH (1.7–11.2 m IU/ml), for FSH (2.0–18.6m IU/ml)
