Abstract

Men being evaluated for male factor infertility are often found to have low testosterone. Clomiphene citrate (CC) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used off-label to stimulate endogenous testosterone production in hypogonadal men being treated for infertility. In some patients, CC leads to elevated estradiol levels, necessitating combination therapy with an aromatase inhibitor, such as anastrozole (AZ). The objectives of this project were to (1) determine the previously unreported rate of conversion from CC monotherapy to combination therapy with CC+AZ in hypogonadal men being treated for infertility, and (2) test the hypothesis that men needing combination therapy with CC+AZ would have higher body mass index (BMI) compared to men maintained on CC monotherapy.
