I can't find any research on the impact of Clomid or HCG on testicles that atrophied due to varicoceles (or any non HPTA shutdown related reason). Given that I already have relatively normal hormone levels and don't seem to have an issue with my HPTA, do you think that Clomid or HCG will still...
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this StepbyStep and Mr S. I hadn't considered the possibility of further Sertoli cell atrophy when on HCG. I have considered Clomid as an alternative, but had previously ruled it out due to the unpleasant side effects that it could cause. It...
I have read through many stories on here about individuals who successfully reversed TRT-induced testicular atrophy using HCG. I have also read a litany of medical studies that demonstrated a similar result. While this is certainly encouraging, I am left wondering whether HCG can also reverse...

Understanding Your Hormones
Estradiol (E2)
A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido.
Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
DHT
Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth,
prostate health, and masculinization effects.
Free Testosterone
The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins.
Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
