Testicular cancer lowers testosterone levels in men who have the disease.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Testicular cancer lowers testosterone levels in men who have the disease?

Partly. One reference notes that testicular cancer survivors with low testosterone feel less masculine, while a 2024 conference abstract found post-orchiectomy testosterone levels were similar to baseline and only about a quarter of men had low testosterone. A 1999 study speculates that testosterone may actually be increased in men with testicular cancer, and another report found no effect of chemotherapy on testosterone production in survivors.
