In most cases, infertility in males is not associated with an identifiable endocrine disorder, and with the exception of infertility associated with erectile dysfunction, male infertility is generally unresponsive to drugs. In rare cases, failure to produce sperm is related to insufficient gonadotropin secretion and hCG may be used, but therapy is prolonged and may be required for up to 3 to 4 years. Treatment with sildenafil is necessary only when ED has been identified.
