Welcome to testosterone-fertility.com. This site is designed to inform and protect men who want to
preserve their fertility from the toxic effects of extra testosterone.
Testosterone is the hormone that causes men to be “male”. Testosterone is almost single handedly
responsible for a boy’s development of muscle strength, bone density, deepened voice, body hair,
competitiveness, sex drive and sperm production.
It makes intuitive sense that when a man has impaired fertility because of a low sperm count,
giving him extra testosterone would benefit his fertility. This is a critical mistake
many doctors continue to make.
Approximately 150,000 men every year are evaluated for impaired fertility.
Oftentimes a low sperm count and low testosterone are found. Such men are even
more susceptible to the toxic effects of extra testosterone on their sperm
production. Extra testosterone will stop a man’s sperm production and make his chances for fertility impossible! Even giving testosterone in replacement
doses, so that blood levels never are higher than normal, will halt sperm production.
Testosterone has actually been administered to healthy men in low doses for the purpose of a male birth control.
There are medical conditions when testosterone replacement is highly beneficial-but restoring sperm
production is never one of them. Fortunately, the impaired sperm production that extra testosterone
causes is often reversible, but can take anywhere from 3 months to years.
