About a third of men suffering from infertility are prone to metabolic disorders, according to Pannochka, an Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Such conclusions were published by the staff of Lund University (Sweden) at the conference of the European Urological Association in Munich.

Swedish scientists examined a group of 192 men with poor sperm counts (oligospermia), finding that 33% of them had testosterone deficiency.

The authors note that low testosterone is a proven risk factor for diseases such as osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes..

“We found that a significant percentage of infertile men have biochemical signs of hypogonadism.. In this regard, it is recommended to check the level of sex hormones for all men who have fertility problems.. This is necessary not only to clarify the causes of infertility, but also to assess the risk of serious metabolic disorders in the future, ”said Dr. Aleksander Giwercman.

To get the full picture, the researchers performed detailed biochemical blood tests, blood pressure measurements, and anthropometric measurements..

More details about their results can be found in the latest issue of the journal Clinical Endocrinology.

“This study is certainly interesting, as is the question it poses to us: can infertility in men under 50 be an indicator of the risk of metabolic disorders in the future But before making any final conclusions, I would like to see more research in this area, ”commented Professor Jens Sonsken, EAU Member.
