Abstract
The use of androgen therapy to improve the poor quality of semen was assessed on 69 subfertile men. The men were treated with 2 or 4 mg of fluoxymesterone daily up to 12 months. During the course of treatment, the semen samples were analyzed every 3 months and the overall mean values for various semen characteristics were compared before and after the onset of treatment. The sperm motility and normal sperm morphology showed a significant improvement with treatment. Based on overall evaluation, androgen therapy may benefit some patients, while in others it may not significantly alter the semen quality.
