"Androgens have no adverse effect on DNA replication so there's no problem there. There's also no problem of carrying androgen into the egg... the mass of the sperm cell is negligible relative to the egg. Also no sexual differentiation occurs for quite some time and so even if androgen levels in the egg were changed (which they would not detectably be) the excess androgen would diffuse out in only a matter of hours at most, whereas it is probably weeks before the first sexual differentiation occurs.
Anyway, theory aside, it's not observed to be a problem nor believed to be one by doctors." | |
