Impact on reproductive health, including reduced sperm production, decreased testicular weight, reduced testosterone levels, delayed puberty, and endometriosis were observed in experimental animals. Phthalates. Studies have shown damaged, shrunken, undescended, or atrophied testicles reduce sperm production, damaged sperm, the destruction of the Sertoli cells (theproduce sperm) and lowered testosterone levels in the offspring.
