Infertile men are more likely to develop aggressive early-onset prostate cancer, new research suggests.
Those who are unable to have children naturally or via IVF are overall 47 per cent more likely to develop the life-threatening condition, while men under 50 have three times the risk, a Swedish study found today.
Undiagnosed prostate tumours may drive infertility, while low testosterone levels could lead to the development of both conditions, according to the researchers.
