Testicular Function Recovery

Meaning

Testicular Function Recovery is the complex physiological process by which the testes successfully restore their intrinsic capacity for both testosterone synthesis (steroidogenesis) and sperm production (spermatogenesis) following a period of suppression. This recovery is a key clinical goal for men discontinuing exogenous testosterone therapy or recovering from conditions causing secondary hypogonadism. Successful recovery is objectively confirmed by the normalization of sperm concentration and endogenous testosterone levels.
