A medical approach before PMA
Before considering medically assisted reproduction (MAR), it is essential to identify and correct any treatable medical causes .
Furthermore, in many men, testicular hormonal stimulation can naturally restart sperm production and achieve spontaneous pregnancy.
When is this treatment indicated?
Testicular hormonal stimulation is for any man experiencing infertility.
This treatment is particularly relevant even if your biological results appear normal , because “normal” hormone levels do not rule out a functional defect in the stimulation.
This simple imbalance can be enough to hinder sperm production. By correcting it, it is often possible to restore natural fertility without immediately resorting to assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Principle of treatment
Hormonal stimulation is based on injections of gonadotropins (FSH and hCG) , hormones similar to those secreted by the body.
They directly stimulate the testicles, restarting the production of testosterone and sperm.
In practice:
When the indication is well established, hormonal stimulation allows a resumption of spermatogenesis in the majority of cases of hormonal origin.
In many cases, treatment is effective in restarting sperm production and restoring fertility.
Many natural pregnancies are observed, without recourse to medically assisted procreation.
Even with a partial response, sperm quality often improves, increasing the chances of spontaneous conception.
In many cases, appropriate medical care can restore natural fertility and avoid the need for invasive techniques.
assisted reproduction.
Only a complete andrological assessment can identify the exact cause of infertility and propose an appropriate strategy:
This assessment allows us to offer personalized treatment , sometimes combined with
other measures (varicocele surgery, additional hormonal correction,
healthy lifestyle), to optimize the chances of natural conception .

Yes. Any man experiencing infertility should have a comprehensive evaluation, as a hormonal or functional cause can be corrected. In many cases, fertility can be restored naturally.
Yes. Hormonal stimulation often allows sufficient sperm production to resume to allow a natural pregnancy, when the partner does not have any major abnormalities.
The first results are visible after 3 to 6 months, but a complete response may require up to 12 months of treatment.
The injections are simple and can be performed at home. Follow-up is regular but well tolerated.
They are rare and mild: local reactions, testicular sensitivity, slight weight gain or transient acne.
Any man experiencing infertility should undergo an andrological assessment. specialized.
Testicular hormonal stimulation is an effective medical treatment often allowing natural fertility to be restored.
In many cases, it makes it possible to avoid medically assisted procreation and to promote spontaneous conception.
This treatment must be conducted by a urologist andrologist specializing in male fertility.
