How does ADT impact other androgen-sensitive tissues?
ADT not only affects the prostate but also other androgen-sensitive tissues such as the testes, seminal vesicles, and muscles. In the testes, there is often a noticeable reduction in size due to decreased stimulation by androgens. The seminal vesicles, which produce a significant portion of the ejaculate fluid, also shrink and exhibit reduced secretory activity. Muscle tissues may undergo atrophy as well, given the role of androgens in muscle maintenance and growth.
