Abstract
Testosterone therapy (TT) is typically long-acting and can potentially cause infertility in a majority of men due to suppression of HPG axis. Intratesticular testosterone is vital for spermatogenesis and can be reliably evaluated with serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP).1 Based on this observation, we used serum 17-OHP as a serum biomarker for evaluating intratesticular T in men receiving TRT. We hypothesized that long-acting TRT will have a significant impact on suppressing HPG axis and intratesticular T production as compared to short-acting preparations.
