Anjali Mehta, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Anjali Mehta, a 32-year-old software engineer, had been trying to conceive with her husband for over two years. Her husband, Rohan, 34, was initially reluctant to seek help, believing his low energy and diminished libido were just from work stress. Anjali, however, noticed a more profound change in him, a persistent lack of motivation and a sadness that wasn't there before. After their fertility tests revealed Rohan had a very low sperm count and low testosterone, Anjali gently but firmly encouraged him to see a specialist. The andrologist diagnosed Rohan with hypogonadism, likely secondary to a pituitary issue. The doctor recommended testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) via weekly self-administered injections to restore hormonal balance and potentially improve fertility parameters when combined with other medications. Rohan was anxious about the needles and the diagnosis, feeling it challenged his identity. Anjali attended every appointment, learning to help with the injections. After three months, Rohan's energy, mood, and sense of well-being improved dramatically. While they are still on their fertility journey using assisted techniques, the treatment lifted a fog for Rohan. Anjali's emotional journey was one of supportive advocacy; her relief came not just from the potential for a family, but from seeing her husband regain his spark and their relationship rekindle its intimacy.
