Which marker would you optimize for spermatogenesis: Prolactin, or Testosterone?

I have azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate), and I have high prolactin, lower than optimal testosterone, and high pituitary hormones such as ACTH.

I've been looking into ways to help my body produce more sperm, but there seems to always be a trade-off. My experiment with Exemestane made my prolactin and FSH/LH shoot up (prolactin doubled, and has stayed high since then).

As I think about ways to increase sperm production through scrotal applications, should I focus on what happens to my testosterone levels while ignoring changes in prolactin?

Is it better to prioritize increasing testosterone, or lowering prolactin for spermatogenesis?

Thank you!
