The clinical process directed toward restoring the intrinsic capacity of the testes or ovaries to produce appropriate levels of sex steroids and gametes following suppression or impairment due to exogenous factors or systemic illness. This is central to reproductive and anabolic health restoration.
Origin
Rooted in reproductive endocrinology, this term describes the reversal of hypogonadism, whether primary or secondary, back toward a healthy, endogenous production baseline. Recovery implies the inherent biological machinery is being reactivated.
Mechanism
Recovery often involves supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis sensitivity to endogenous GnRH and LH/FSH signaling. Supporting adequate precursor nutrient pools and managing systemic inflammation are common adjuncts to promote follicular or spermatogenic health.
