The drug has been demonized over the last century by various groups which benefit from its prohibition. In the previous twenty years, calls for the legalization of weed have made rapid advances.

How Can Low Testosterone Affect Male Fertility?


Posted by Professor Anna Gray, Updated on January 6th, 2023

low testosterone and its effect on fertility 300x169Reading Time: 5 minutes First, we need to define terms here. Just what is “low testosterone”? When a man’s testosterone levels get below the normal range – about 275 to 1,080 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) -- that’s when we say that he has low testosterone. But that range is wide, and for some men, the lower part of the range might be considered “low” for them. That’s where our clinics and labs can help, because every man’s case is different. Another name for low testosterone is “hypogonadism,” and it can manifest itself in childhood, and in some cases even during the child’s development in … Read more »
