Treatment of azoospermia after exogenous testosterone use may require aggressive medical therapy, according to Kelli Gross, MD.
Many factors play into decision-making process when weighing agents.
"I think what we definitively have is a device that's been around for over 50 years now that now we know significantly improves quality of life," says Andrew C. Peterson, MD, MPH.
"Effective cross-examination can create an implication that an expert’s opinions are motivated by bias or self-interest, rather than a neutral evaluation of the facts. This is frequently accomplished by highlighting the fact that experts are paid for time spent reviewing a case and testifying," writes Kenton H. Steele, Esq.
Growing evidence supports the existence of an intermediate metastatic disease state.
Experts close their panel on OAB by identifying treatment pathways for patients who have an unsatisfactory response to third-line therapy.
