Abstract in brief

Testosterone is essential for sperm production, sexual function, and secondary sexual characteristics in men, but testosterone deficiency increases with age.
TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) can lower natural testosterone and impair sperm production, often requiring time to recover after stopping treatment, which can complicate family planning.
Certain medications like gonadotropins, aromatase inhibitors, and selective estrogen receptor antagonists can help maintain or restore sperm production in men on TRT, while new short-acting testosterone formulations may partially preserve sperm production during treatment.]
