Can metabolic syndrome cause hypogonadism. is it reversible? i have been drinking 6-8 cans of beer 3d/week for six years. my genitals seem smaller.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metabolic syndrome: As well as weight gain and alcohol ingestion can all lead to hypogonadism, but that doesn't mean shrinkage of your genitals -- only a reduction in hormonal production and possibly sperm count. Check w/your doctor, lose weight, and stop the alcohol.
