Aspermia can be corrected by stopping the drug offenders.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concerns. Yes, please note that his sperm production will come back to what it used to be, your fertility is not affected by Wellbutirin. I hope this helps, good luck.

Can Fertilsan M help? he is 59.

Brief Answer:
I do not believe that it would make any difference, I would wait

Detailed Answer:
The body has its own natural way of sorting things out, I would not add medications to a problem already caused by medications, let the body be free of external medications/herbs/pills. He will get his sperm production back, just give it time for the medication to wear off. Thanks
