Prednisone and sperm count

Men who wish to father a child should talk to their doctor before starting a new medication or having any treatments. Non-FDA approved male fertility supplements may be widely advertised as fertility enhancers but they have not been scientifically evaluated and may cause harm. Before you take any supplements it is important to discuss it with a healthcare provider. Men who are having trouble fathering a child should speak to their doctor about the medications they are taking, and the possible need for semen tests. Some men may have an unexpected side effect from a medication that can harm their fertility.

The association between inflammation of the male reproductive system and oligozoospermia has been frequently reported in the clinical work-up of male infertility. To improve sperm parameters in infertile patients with genital inflammation, many phytochemical and nutraceutical drugs are currently being used. However, their use is still empirical and no conclusive data have been provided about their efficacy. The treatment with steroid anti-inflammatory drugs might be useful in reducing inflammation and improving sperm parameters, thus increasing the fertility outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate if glucocorticoid treatment improves seminal parameters in infertile oligozoospermic patients presenting signs of accessory gland inflammation at genital ultrasound.

Although many studies have confirmed the clinical therapeutic significance of corticosteroids in the treatment of men with ASAs, other studies have not found a therapeutic significance for corticosteroids in the treatment of men with ASAs. Moreover, although some reports have shown high fertilization and conception rates in couples when husbands did not have ASAs, other reports have shown that ASAs do not have a negative effect on fertilization and conception rates.

When it comes to fertility medication, some are more controversial than others. A steroid called Prednisolone, marketed as Prednisone in a few countries, is one of them. Some call it a fertility wonder drug. Others are more sceptical.
