Testicular Function Restoration

Meaning

Testicular function restoration refers to the clinical process of re-establishing or significantly improving the natural secretory and spermatogenic capabilities of the testes following a period of suppression or impairment. This is a primary goal for men who have experienced secondary hypogonadism, often due to exogenous androgen use or other hypothalamic-pituitary axis disruptions. The process involves targeted pharmacological or lifestyle interventions aimed at stimulating the testes to resume endogenous testosterone production and healthy sperm generation. Successful restoration is confirmed by the normalization of the HPG axis markers and the return of functional reproductive capacity.
