: Either what you read or what you interpreted is totally wrong. Liver damage can cause hormonal problems too but it takes many years of alcohol abuse to do that. Pl do not believe everything medical on the internet as there is a lot of misinfo. there Pl ask your doc about any/all med conditions. Good luck
