Abstract

Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia is a prevalent cause of male infertility. (iOAT). It is generally acknowledged that, due to the fact that spermatogenesis is a sex-hormone-dependent process, specific endocrine treatments might enhance or recover male fertility. The typical negative feedback of sex steroids is disrupted by anti-estrogen medication, leading to a rise in endogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion (FSH and LH) straight from the pituitary. The stimulation of Leydig cells in the testes by FSH and LH is thought to promote local testosterone synthesis, which in turn may improve spermatogenesis. The study sample consisted of 42 iOAT patients. Baseline seminal fluid analysis (SFA) and hormonal assessment (FSH, LH, prolactin, and testosterone) were taken. Each patient was given medical treatment with tamoxifen (20 mg/day) for three months. SFA, FSH, and testosterone were taken after three months. There was a significant increase in FSH, testosterone, sperm concentration, and progressive motility after treatment (p value <0.001), furthermore, there was no significant correlation between hormonal changes and changes in SFA study markers (p value > 0,05). Improvements in hormone levels following tamoxifen treatment for patients with idiopathic oligoasthenoteratospermia do not correlate with alterations in SFA markers.
