Uses for Men on Clomiphene (Clomid)

Treatment of Secondary Hypogonadism

Clomiphene is used to increase endogenous (natural) testosterone production in men with secondary hypogonadism (low testosterone due to insufficient stimulation from the pituitary gland).

It is especially helpful for men with low or normal LH and FSH levels.

Male Infertility

Clomiphene can stimulate the production of sperm by increasing LH and FSH, which are necessary for spermatogenesis.

It is often used in men with low sperm counts or unexplained infertility.

Fertility Preservation During Testosterone Therapy

For men who want to maintain or improve fertility while addressing symptoms of low testosterone, clomiphene is an alternative to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which can suppress sperm production.

Alternative to Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Clomiphene can be used in men who have symptoms of low testosterone but wish to avoid the risks of exogenous testosterone, such as testicular atrophy or infertility.

Adjunct in Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)

In men discontinuing anabolic steroid or testosterone use, clomiphene may be used to help restore natural testosterone production.
