Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I have been taking a testosterone booster for a few months now, and I'm starting to wonder if it might be affecting my fertility. My partner and I are trying to conceive, and I'm concerned that this supplement could harm my chances of getting pregnant. Can you provide some insights on how testosterone boosters might impact fertility and what I should consider while trying to conceive?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Yes, that could be the case. Testosterone boosters are male hormones, and taking these supplements can potentially reduce your sperm count. High levels of external testosterone can signal your body to decrease its own production, leading to lower fertility. If you're trying to conceive, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider. They can help assess your specific situation and explore alternative options that may support your fertility while you are trying to conceive.

 

Thanks
