Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle During & After Treatment

• Limit heat exposure to testicles—refrain from using hot tubs, saunas, heated car seats
• Avoid unregulated “testosterone boosters,” anabolic steroids, or performance supplements because they may shut down natural sperm production
• Consider ways to manage stress because increased cortisol levels can reduce testosterone levels over time. Try meditation, yoga, mindfulness, support groups or counseling
• Talk to your doctor about medications. Some used during or after treatment—such as opioids, high-dose steroids, and certain antidepressants—can affect libido, erections, or hormones
