Can stress affect testosterone levels?

Yes, stress can reduce your testosterone levels. While stress affects different organs and hormone secretion, it also affects testosterone production. This is because stress generally activates the cortisol hormone, which suppresses the activity of other endocrine glands and reduces the body’s metabolism.
