How long does it take for treatment of male infertility to show results?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a check-up a few weeks ago and found that I have male infertility. The doctor said it's best to undergo treatment to increase the chances of conception. I have been undergoing treatment for nearly two months now, and the doctor says it's still uncertain whether it will be effective. I want to know how long it will take to see results.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, because the testes produce sperm through a process, it generally takes about 74 days for spermatogonia to develop into sperm. After sperm are expelled from the testes, they need to undergo a maturation process in the epididymis for about 18 days before they can be released from the body. Therefore, even if the medication is effective, it will take about 3 months to show its effects.
