Question : The urologist i went to see got back my results from blood test and said i suffered from low testosterone which was the cause for the testicular atrophy. He then prescribed clomiphene citrate to raise my levels back up without damaging sperm production. Is it possible that this will reverse the atrophy?
Brief Answer:
It can reverse atrophy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Using clomid can increase testosterone levels and sperm count. Of course it can reverse the atrophy.
It is not approved by FDA but can still be used and give results.
You may need 90-100 days to see results.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Why isnt it approved by the FDA? Are there dangerous side effects?
Brief Answer:
It is not dangerous.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
It is not approved yet by FDA to be used in men because studies in men have not yet been conclusive.
This doesn't mean that it is dangerous and you should not worry about it.

Sorry for my reservations, just worried because this doctor didn’t weigh me, so Im not sure how he knew the measurements of pills to give me. Nor did he suggest the pills initially and I’m concerned that maybe everything wasn’t done. Just don’t want to make the atrophy even worse or start something that I’m committed to for life if i could have changed it naturally
Brief Answer:
It will make atrophy better.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Just trust your doctor.
There is no need to get measured before starting Clomid because adults have standard dosages.
The Clomid works by suppression estrogen interaction with the pituitary gland causing an increase in LH, FSH, and testosterone levels.
It will make atrophy better so be sure about using it.
It will make atrophy better.
