Abstract
Testicular fibrosis is a chronic and progressive condition characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. This process leads to fibrotic remodeling, damage to testicular tissue, and the irreversible loss of male reproductive function. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive reviews systematically elucidating the pathology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of testicular fibrosis from the perspectives of different related diseases. This review addresses these aspects of testicular fibrosis, with a particular emphasis on elucidating the underlying mechanisms of testicular cells. It provides insights that can be relevant for future research and clinical interventions.
期刊介绍：
Andrology is the study of the male reproductive system and other male gender related health issues. Andrology deals with basic and clinical aspects of the male reproductive system (gonads, endocrine and accessory organs) in all species, including the diagnosis and treatment of medical problems associated with sexual development, infertility, sexual dysfunction, sex hormone action and other urological problems. In medicine, Andrology as a specialty is a recent development, as it had previously been considered a subspecialty of urology or endocrinology
