Loss of Libido

Posted by BaS on January 25, 2006 at 16:16:40:

Hi - I read an article which said Sleep Apnea can be responsible for lowering a male's testosterone production, in turn decreasing libido and sex drive.

Is anyone aware that this is the case? I know Sleep Apnea gets the blame for a lot of ailments, so was wondering if this one had much truth to it?

Does anyone know?

Thanks.
