spermatogenesis
Proposed mechanisms
include heat-mediated
stress and ischemia
Spermatogonia B,
pachytene spermatocytes
and early spermatids
highly vulnerable to heat

15. Key Messages – Day 3
Steps before Sperm Retrieval
ANDROFERT
§ Medication to boost endogenous T
production seems beneficial to
improve spermatogenesis,
particularly in men with low T
levels and low T/E ratio
§ Repair of clinical varicocele should
be considered in ICSI candidates
before SR
