question from a user
Are there any studies about TRT affecting sperm quality? I know about motility and sperm count. I mean specifically like denaturing of the sperm quality itself? A friend of mine wanted to know if TRT with HCG would increase the chance of birth defects?

Testosterone does not cause birth defects. Remember what you are injecting is the same substance that has been coursing through your body every single day since birth, testosterone.
hCG also does not increase the risk of birth defects. Remember that hCG is the pregnancy hormone, and is in the hundreds of thousands of mlU/mL in the mother and fetus' blood for the entire 9 months of gestation.
These are both naturally occurring substances that already exist in the human body and they do not increase the risk of birth defects.
