Sperm count falling to subfertile or zero. Common on cycle, usually recovers over months to years, and occasionally does not.

Testicular Atrophy

Shrinkage from lost LH signalling. Usually reversible, and the visible sign that the axis is switched off.

Sperm Production stimulates

Testis

Makes testosterone and sperm, and needs LH and FSH from the pituitary to do either. Cut that signal and it shrinks and goes quiet.
