Low Testosterone Common After Testicular Cancer

Not surprising, that a study of men with testicular cancer came to this result, but what was is interesting is the symptoms they observed:

Compared to survivors with normal testosterone, testicular cancer survivors with low testosterone were more likely to take medicine for:

High cholesterol (20% vs. 6%)

High blood pressure (19% vs. 11%)

Erectile dysfunction (20% vs. 12%)

Diabetes (6% vs. 3%)

Anxiety or depression (15% vs. 10%)

“Some of these health problems have been previously linked to low testosterone levels among men in the general population and in a few studies of testicular cancer survivors, but this study is one of the most comprehensive to date – we are looking at 15 different health conditions,” said Dr. Abu Zaid.

When a man has testicle cancer, does it usually only affect one testicle, not both? The few men I know who had testicle cancer only lost one not both. They were able to move on with their life and have children.
