Description: A 35-year-old man presents with low sperm count, borderline testosterone, overweight, and a strong desire for fertility. What would you do next?
This highly interactive, case-based session transforms the audience into active decision-makers. At 5-6 critical moments in a real-world patient journey, delegates will vote live on key clinical choices - testosterone therapy, lifestyle intervention, clomiphene, further investigations, or watchful waiting. Each decision triggers real-time analysis from a multidisciplinary expert panel:
* A clinician providing a guideline-based perspective
* A scientist unpacking the mechanistic and endocrine biology
* An epidemiologist highlighting population-level and public health implications
Designed to bridge frontline practice with translational science, this session invites collaboration, debate, and challenge between clinicians and researchers. The case reflects a growing global public health issue in male reproductive and metabolic health, ensuring lively discussion, practical insights, and evidence-informed take-home messages. Expect dynamic audience engagement, robust debate, and real-world decision-making under uncertainty - just like in clinic.
