Does low male hormone prevent fast recovery from sport related injuries?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Male hormone: Yes it is possible. Very low levels of male hormone can make men more frail and slow recovery from injuries.

See below: Low male hormone levels may affect certain aspects of male behavior and performance, but i believe the healing process is primarily related to general health and not specifically related to sex hormone levels. Male hormones will affect secondary male characteristics like hair distribution, sex drive and muscle mass but other than increasing muscle mass in an athlete, healing should occur normally.
