Is It Testoterone Replacement Therapy Should Not Be Taken By Male Who Want To Father A Biological Child?

Posted on Wed, 16 Oct 2024

Question: Hello,
I am a 32 year old male. I went to doctor, because me and my partner are not having baby from past two and half years. My semen analysis and sperm dfi test reports seem normal. However, my serum testoterone test is li'l below the mark. My doctor recommended I can have T Cernos 40 mg in 1-0-1 fashion for a month. However, I have a doubt, while going through online articles it is mentioned that testoterone replacement therapy should not be taken by male who want to father a biological child. Now, I am in dilemma whether I should start taking cernos.
On a side note, my wife's gync suggested me to take Q gold tablets for 3 months. I am feeling good after starting this tablet and earlier I used to feel exhausted, after starting Q gold fatigue problem is solved.

Brief Answer:
Testosterone is concerned with sexual desire (LIBIDO)

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the reports that you have posted your semen analysis is well within normal range as per WHO standards .

Testosterone is an enzyme secreted by testicles and governs sexual desire and physical wellbeing of a male .Since your semen analysis is well within normal range as per WHO standards taking exogenous Testosterone is of no value as far as fertility is concerned .

Get your Testosterone test done in the morning .

Following general measures will help to increase your Testosterone levels .

1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.
2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.and Zinc
3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday..
4) Avoid alcohol and smoking..

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Hello Doctor,

Thanks for your response. I have few more questions to ask:-

I had circumcision when was 7-8 years old, since then my penis got li'l bent towards right side and when it is erected bent is further reduced. I don't have any issue in intercourse and my wife does not have any complaints too. My question:-

1. I believe motility of sperm is designed as per straight penis, so progressive sperms can either travel straight or in circular motion. But, if penis is li'l bent will it reach cervix directly ( considering straight progression of sperms ) and if not then up to what extent will it affect fertility of men or having ability to have a biological child?

2. My office had done regular test for my urine and blood samples. I found a couple of parameters not in the required range, 'm especially bothered about hemoglobin and Vitamin D ( I guess somewhere it is related to sperm hormones ). Can you prescribe medicines for parameters not in the range? I am attaching reports for those as well.

Third question:-

Testoterone can increase volume of sperm, so it will increase sperm parameters not sure ( it will increase chances to have a child )? If it can increase then, is it good to have testoterone tablet Cernos on 1-0-1 fashion for a month? I am afraid if I take this tablet then it will actually decrease sperm count until this will be taken and it will take sometime to get back sperm of better quality ( if compare to current quality ) after stopping tablets.

If this is the case then I don't want to take tablets. Please advise.

Thanks for the reply. Hope this would be the last question, my wife's gync doctor suggested her to go for laparoscopy if things don't work out in next two months. Well, I went ahead and did all my checks because I wanted to check my stats first before putting her onto the knife. Do you think she can go with laparoscopy considering my stats or let me rephrase it do you think my stats are good enough and because of me it is not the hindrance and my wife can go ahead with laparoscopy?

Or shall I wait until Vitamins D and Hemoglobin course is completed ( not sure if they are related to fertility )?

NOTE:- I am taking Q gold tablets and feeling really good after starting the course ( earlier I used to feel
exhausted ).

Please advise.

1.So, you recommend Tab Calcerol D3 60000 I.U ( 3 months ) only and not renerve seeing my Q gold course?

Yes, she has got done not only ultrasound scanning but a series of other tests. But nothing seem to be of trouble except Prolcatin and glucose test ( after having 75 gm of glucose ), for that she is taking medicine. But doctor, says if this does not work then she needs to go for laparoscopy and she will check it in more advanced manner ( we had two failed iuis as well ). If you have suggestions then please let us know.

2. I understand gync doctor says laparoscopy and decision is solely on us. But, my intention was to ask you because it should not be some issue at my side and she needs to go for it unnecessarily.
