What we can confirm

The best available evidence suggests GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve some male fertility markers, especially in men with obesity or metabolic dysfunction, but the effect is not established as a proven fertility treatment and the literature remains limited. Multiple reviews and clinical reports describe improved testosterone and sperm parameters, while expert guidance emphasizes that these drugs are not approved as fertility drugs and that direct causal effects remain uncertain.[8][10][12][16][17]
