Question 1

please tell me, could a man with one testicle bear children at age 30?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as the single testis is making healthy sperm, one will do quite well. The other issue is why just one. If a proper workup has not been done, it is important he other testis should be looked for. If it is in the abdomen it can become cancerous and be too far along to save the patient.

Question 2

is it possible for a man with one testicle to have a baby easily?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sperm analysis will give the final answer whether its possible or not and how? If near normal volume, count, motility and shape of sperm then natural intercourse maybe enough. If severe sperm abnormality, pregnancy is still possible through ivf. If severe sperm abnormalities, consider freezing one or two sperm samples as backup.

Question 3

can a man with one left sided testicle have healthy babies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It only takes one testical making fertile sperm to do the job. As long as the issue that led to the problems with the first did not involve the 2nd, the assumption would be normal function.A fertility center could verify the likely healthy state of the sperm.

Question 4

does one sided cryptorchidism cause infertility in men? does a man with one healthy testicle have a lower sperm count?

Accepted Answer

One is enough: One testis is enough  for fertilization, sperm count will be same volume will be less.

Question 5

can a man easily make a baby if he has only one testicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is usually no reason not to be fertile unless the man has had chemotherapy or pelvic radiation.

Question 6

why might it be that one testicle of a normal men is bigger than the other?

Accepted Answer

Testes: It is not uncommon to have a size discrepancy. The real question is whether one is too small or too large.  I would be more concerned if this was a relatively new finding rather than the way you've always been.  Get examined just to be sure the larger tesits is not cancerous.

Question 7

please tell me, could a man born with one testicle impregnant a woman?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as the single testis is making healthy sperm, one will do quite well. The other issue is why just one. If a proper workup has not been done, it is important he other testis should be looked for. If it is in the abdomen it can become cancerous and be too far along to save the patient.

Question 8

can men who had cancer in one testicle have kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: If you had radiation and or chemo, it may have done permanent damage to your ability to make viable sperm! if no significant damage was done and you had a simple orchyectomy then you have good chances of being virile.

Question 9

if a man's testicles does not appear only can he bear children?

Accepted Answer

Undescended testicle: Testicles that fail to descend from the abdomen to the scrotum often end up being infertile or lower fertility.  The higher heat in the abdomen is not good for sperm health. It may or may not be too late for him.  He should see a urologist. Parents, let this be a lesson i f you desire grandchildren...your son's testicles should be down by their first birthday..if not, see a specialist!

Question 10

can a man with a big varicocele of the testicle still have children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes yes: The connection of varicocele and male sub-fertility is not entirely consistent: though some men with sub-fertility are helped by varicocele repair, a majority of men with varicocele never have  fertility problems. Expert groups of urologists and res often disagree on specifics, so for a less general answer i recommend getting a in-person evaluation with an expert you trust.
