Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction:
While still relevant, there appears to be a waning emphasis on older, established pharmacological treatments for erectile dysfunction, possibly due to the emergence of newer therapeutic modalities. - Basic Animal Studies on Fertility:
There is a noticeable decrease in the publication of basic animal studies focusing solely on fertility mechanisms, as research trends shift towards more translational and clinical studies. - General Studies on Male Hormonal Levels:
Research centered solely on measuring and correlating male hormonal levels without broader implications or interventions seems to be declining, as studies increasingly focus on practical applications.
