Hi there, is there a relation betwean low testosteron levels en herniated disc? My husband was diagnosed with hypotestosteronism 14 months ago and recently he got to hear dat he have lumbal dicus hernia L4-L5. so I was wondering if those 2 conditions are related. Thanks, Silvy
Hi, thank you for the query. Testosterone production is regulated through a hormonal feedback mechanism by some hormones secreted by the brain. So there is no direct link between disc herniation and low testosterone production. I would suggest he sees and endocrinologist for proper evaluation. I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you. I wish him good health
