A new report suggets that young, infertile men are ‘50% more likely to develop aggressive prostate
This finding is based on a study using the medical records of over 22,000 men in California who had been assessed for infertility. Researchers found that men who were infertile were more likely to go on to develop prostate cancer, […]
