A member asked:

Trying to conceive our first child. husband has addison's. can this affect his fertility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it depends on: the cause of the Addisons and whether it has been properly treated. Addison's can be caused by either primary adrenal failure or secondary failure due to pituitary reasons and there can be coexisting other hormonal dysfunction. There is a report of a male with infertility, whose sperm count improved significantly after appropriate treatment. See:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16580396
