Drug treatment of male fertility disorders

Drug treatment remains an active domain in the therapy of male fertility disorders. Although there are only a few conditions that allow causal treatment, rational approaches are possible in many cases. Best results are obtained in cases requiring an anti-inflammatory treatment and in patients with an impaired sperm transport. High-dosage administration of FSH is a promising new development, aimed particularly at improving the disturbed sperm structures. A careful diagnostic work-up with elucidation of the underlying disease is essential to achieve a successful therapy.
