New study focuses on testes' second use
New York | October 19, 2007 12:01:13 AM IST
 

 

 

New research conducted at a New York medical facility has found that the second function of a man's testes is the key to overcoming male infertility.

While the most common function for testes is the production of sperm, Dr. Marc Goldstein of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center found that the gland's production of testosterone is behind a common cause of male infertility, a press release from the facility said Wednesday.

People often forget or often don't realize that the testes have two purposes, Goldstein said. One is the production of the sex cells (sperm), and the other is to produce testosterone.

Goldstein's research found that when a man is the victim of varicoceles, varicose veins in the scrotum, his testosterone levels drop dramatically.

Lower testosterone levels can lead to the onset of andropause, a condition similar to menopause in women that can cause sexual infertility in men.

Yet Goldstein's research found that when a simple surgery helps the patient recover his fertility, his testosterone levels begin to rise back to normal levels.
