The aim of study is to research the risk factors for male reproductive health disorders.

The study included questions related to marital status, level of education, lifestyle, a block of questions related to work, and also used standardized questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), diagnosis of stress (A.O. Prokhorov), questionnaire on the symptoms of aging in men (SAM), international index of erectile function (IIEF-5).
Results. The results of the study showed that every second man has signs of androgen deficiency, and every fourth man has erectile dysfunction, despite the fact that the majority of respondents are less than 45 years old.
Conclusions. The relationship between the presence of stress, depression and androgen deficiency was revealed, which significantly increases the risk of male reproductive health disorders.
