Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Testosterone treatment decreases sperm production by decreasing levels of another hormone, follicelstimulating hormone (FSH), which is important for stimulating sperm production. In most cases, the infertility caused by testosterone treatment is reversible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Excess testosterone levels, which can result from taking some supplements or testosterone therapy, send a signal to the brain that there is enough testosterone in the body. This signal can result in a lower sperm count in many cases, leaving a male with no sperm.
