How are non-specific (idiopathic) male infertility conditions treated without surgery?
Non-specific male infertility factors are often unexplained or ill-defined unlike specific conditions such as retrograde ejaculation or genital tract infection. However, because these procedures often involve the body’s hormonal activities, they are just as troublesome to both the treating physician and the patient. In many cases, empiric therapy — designed to address hormonal imbalances — is used. Empiric therapies generally involve hormonal manipulation. Assessing the impact of empiric treatments is very difficult, given variations in patients as well as dosing regimens, treatment durations and outcome definitions. As such, treatment decisions chosen by individual physicians are often based on their own personal philosophies.
