Het wordt nog naast HCG nog wellis gebruikt in geval van azoospermia, zoals in onderstaande studie. Het zou beter zijn dan HCG alleen, er is voor de meeste alleen lastig aan te komen aangezien het geen ingeburgerd product is op de zwarte markt. zie ook onderstaande studies even:

OBJECTIVE: To document for the first time the successful treatment using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG) of anabolic steroid-induced azoospermia that was persistent despite 1 year of cessation from steroid use. DESIGN: Clinical case report. SETTINGS: Tertiary referral center for infertility. PATIENT(S): A married couple with primary subfertility secondary to azoospermia and male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The husband was a bodybuilder who admitted to have used the anabolic steroids testosterone cypionate, methandrostenolone, oxandrolone, testosterone propionate, oxymetholone, nandrolone decanoate, and methenolone enanthate. INTERVENTION(S): Twice-weekly injections of 10,000 IU of hCG (Profasi; Serono) and daily injections of 75 IU of hMG (Humegon; Organon) for 3 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Semen analyses, pregnancy.
RESULT(S): Semen analyses returned to normal after 3 months of treatment. The couple conceived spontaneously 7 months later. CONCLUSION(S): Steroid-induced azoospermia that is persistent after cessation of steroid use can be treated successfully with hCG and hMG.
hCG-treatment alone is insufficient for restitution of spermatogenesis in a state with arrest at the spermatogonial level.

In an infertile man with azoospermia and arrest at the spermatogonial stage, hCG treatment alone improved the spermatogenesis but not beyond the primary spermatocyte stage. During hCG treatment steroid conversion in vitro in testicular biopsy material, as well as serum testosterone concentrations increased dramatically.
When hMG treatment was added, spermatogenesis was complete. Combined hCG/hMG treatment seems to be an efficient therapy in well-selected infertile men, whereas increased testosterone production induced by hCG-treatment may be insufficient for restitution of spermatogenesis.
