Spermatogenesis recovery treatment in less than four months from zero to almost 16 million sperms per milliliter after several cycles of steroids in 44‐year‐old healthy man

Abstract

Key Clinical Message The most common external factors that men can have influence on, and improve its own spermatogenesis, are related to lifestyle, habits, stress level, sport activities, nutrition quality, and medications. Steroids became one of the key issues in young men during reproductive stage of life. More and more teenagers who are not even developed yet naturally start using supplements very early to build up body and strengths of muscles in the shortest possible time. In this report is presented the case of 44‐year‐old (November 2022), healthy, and sporty man, who is 1–2 times per year on steroid cycles since he turned 40th. He had intention to become a father; however after 6 months of the last steroid cycle, sperm count was zero. This case will show what was needed and successfully done within less than 4 months after last steroids administration and the moment when sperm count reached almost 16 million sperms per milliliter. However, it has to be clear that this is unique case and additional tests would be needed on bigger population to confirm fast post steroid sperm count recovery in healthy subjects, using approach from this manuscript.
