Testicular Function Preservation

Meaning

Testicular Function Preservation is the critical clinical strategy focused on maintaining the endocrine and exocrine functions of the testes, specifically testosterone production and spermatogenesis, in individuals facing gonadotoxic medical treatments or chronic conditions. This is a vital aspect of male hormonal health and fertility management, particularly in oncology and reproductive endocrinology. Successful preservation minimizes the need for long-term hormone replacement therapy and maintains the potential for biological fatherhood.
