Stress and fatigue reduce testosterone just as much as age does
Age is an important factor that determines the amount of testosterone circulating in men's bodies, but it's not the only one. American army researchers discovered that stress and fatigue may be just as important factors. It could be the case that men's testosterone levels rise if they reduce their stress levels and make sure they are well rested.
Study
Researchers at the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego measured the testosterone levels of 57 men in an elite unit. They recorded the men's BMI, sleep, stress, fatigue and blood pressure using questionnaires and basic measurements.


Conclusion

More stress and more fatigue go together with less testosterone. The researchers suspect that in the first instance stress reduces the testosterone level, and that fatigue is then a result of the lower testosterone level. But they don't know for sure. It may be the case that fatigue also lowers testosterone levels.

Definitely excess stress=excess cortisol(body is in a catabolic state)-weakened immune system/suppressed testosterone levels/poor sleep/recovery/negative effects on heart/vascular system/neuro transmitter health/poor digestive function. Unhealthy levels of stress cause many health issues.
 
El estres tiene muchos efectos sobre la salud del ser humano porque el estres estimula la produccion de cortisol y adrenalina. En conseguido un articulo que tiene una informacion muy amplia del estres y de su papel en propiciar enfermedades como el herpes. Les dejo el enlace. A mi me fue de mucha utilidad.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
