Multiple causes of male infertility have been identified; these include endocrine disorders (usually due to hypogonadism), sperm transportation disorders, primary testicular defects, an[1]d idiopathic causes. Thyroid hormones they are considered as essential regulators of male reproductive functions and play vital roles in male gonadal developments.  Thyroid disorder is common in our society as well as erectile dysfunction has a major negative impact on psychological health and quality of life.  Several studies have shown that there is a strong association between thyroid abnormalities and erectile dysfunction.
