Testicular Volume Preservation

Meaning

Testicular Volume Preservation is a proactive clinical strategy aimed at maintaining the physical size and structural integrity of the testes, primarily during periods of pharmacological suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Testicular atrophy is a common side effect of exogenous testosterone administration due to the suppression of pituitary gonadotropins. This preservation is often pursued to safeguard fertility potential and maintain the aesthetic and functional integrity of the gonads.
