We previously demonstrated in a small pilot study that oral medroxyprogesterone acetate and percutaneous testosterone (OMP/PT) induce reversible spermatogenesis suppression. The aims of this study were to determine the rate of spermatogenetic inhibition and recovery and to obtain preliminary data on efficacy for a larger population under OMP/PT.
