Abstract in brief

  • Oral enclomiphene citrate increases testosterone and maintains sperm counts in obese men with secondary hypogonadism, unlike topical testosterone gel which reduces sperm production.
  • The study compared two doses of enclomiphene citrate with testosterone gel, finding that enclomiphene increased testosterone, LH, and FSH levels, while sperm counts remained normal during treatment.
  • Testosterone gel raised testosterone levels but led to a significant decline in sperm production, indicating enclomiphene may be a better option for preserving fertility in these men.]
