LH had greater improvements in total sperm count (TSC) and total motile sperm count (TMSC). Men with lower FSH had greater improvements in T, sperm concentration, and TSC. Azoospermic men showed least improvement across all semen parameters. No significant differences in magnitude of improvement were observed between oligozoospermia sub-categorizations (mild, moderate, severe) and normospermia.CONCLUSIONS: Not all patients experience the same benefit from clomiphene. Our data suggest that men with azoospermia do not significantly benefit. Degree of non-azoospermia did not affect magnitude of improvement. Men with lower gonadotropin levels may expect greater degree of improvement in both hormone and semen parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
