Rate and Extent of Recovery from Reproductive and Cardiac Dysfunction Due to Androgen Abuse in Men.
CONCLUSION: Suppressed testicular and cardiac function due to androgen abuse is effectively fully reversible (apart from testis volume and serum SHBG) with recovery taking between 6 to 18 months after ceasing androgen intake with possible cumulative effects on spermatogenesis. Suppressed serum AMH, LH and FSH represent convenient, useful and underutilized markers of recovery from androgen abuse.
