A member asked:

Can the thyroid affect the penis/testicles in any way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There are hormones in a person's pituitary-hypothalamic area of his brain, that may get altered levels when the person has thyroid hormone imbalances. Some of the pituitary-hypothalamic hormones affect sex hormones and thus sexual function. It's best to stay in normal hormonal balance throughout one's lifetime. One's primary care doctor can help, if needed.
