I had my testicles biopsied in 36 different regions (Fine Needle Aspiration), and the pathology results showed early maturation arrest in all sites. The process stops at the primary spermatocyte stage for me.
I had a varicocele repair 8 months ago, but it hasn't helped yet.
I have normal levels of testosterone and DHT (not super high, but enough to make sperm). They gravitate around 450 most of the times, and after taking some exemestane they even went up to 750.
The cause of the early maturation arrest is idiopathic. Doctor says it could be "genes", but what am I supposed to do about that?
I have a small thyroid carcinoma left untreated (less than 1cm), and I'm starting to wonder if the cancer cells are doing damage all the way down there.
Any ideas? I have tried everything under the sun: suppressed TSH, anti prolactin substances, exemestane to obliterate aromatase....everything!
I am trying to become a biological father so obviously these are the worst news.
I do all the Peaty stuff so rest assured I get my calcium, my sunlight, and everything else we typically discuss in this forum.
Any ideas or experiences from others in this regard would be really helpful. My body is clearly saying "NO" to reproduction. All the building blocks are there in the testicle, but it's just not happening.
Thank you!
