Good day,
Noted your question. Yes, high prolactin can cause low sperm count and low sexual desire ( due to low testosterone). It is important to find the cause.What is your prolactin levels and did you have an MRI scan of pituitary done? If not, it is important to do following tests. TFT, MRI pituitary.
