A member asked:
Can a small sinus infection affect testosterone levels? i have to get my t levels tested in 2 weeks and i have been sick for a week already.

Probably not: Testosterone may be affected by chronic serious infections such as hiv, tb, etc. Psychological stress, alcohol, injuries or surgery, medications, obesity can also contribute to its onset. Most of these effects when greater than moderation.
