Yes. However, decrease in libido and/or erectile dysfunction are common. Complete impotence may also accompany this disorder. The most important male hormone, testosterone, is produced primarily by the testes in men. High levels of adrenal steroids such as cortisol in Cushing's syndrome can directly suppress the ability of the testes to make testosterone. In addition, high levels of cortisol and related hormones also interfere with the ability of the normal pituitary gland to secrete LH and FSH, the two pituitary hormones needed for normal male reproductive function.
