Hydroxyurea Treatment in Men with SCA Leads to Drop in Total Sperm Count, Study Shows
Researchers found that treatment with hydroxyurea at currently approved doses for sickle cell anemia leads to a significant drop in total sperm count in men.
The study, “Adverse effect of hydroxyurea on spermatogenesis in patients with sickle cell anemia after six months of treatment,” was published in the journal Blood.
Progress in the treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA) has allowed patients to live longer lives, reach reproductive age, and have children. One of the main reasons for the improvement in mortality and morbidity in patients with SCA is treatment with hydroxyurea.
