Question 1

my left testicle is little larger in size than the right one but has no pain and any other problems. do i have to worry? will it affect my fertility?

Accepted Answer

Testicles: This is normal. All men have one testicle that is the dominate one and one that is the back up. Normal.

Question 2

what changes in the body when one testicle is removed? is fertility still able? struggling with pain issues for years and no doctors can find anything. cant function and do what i want to do in life like this. thinking about getting it removed?

Accepted Answer

Testicle pain : This is usually an inflammation of the nerve go to the testicle or the nerve leaving the junction between the mid and lower back. Have the veins around the testicle been evaluated?

Question 3

what effects come on fertility,sperm count & production with having one testicle?

Accepted Answer

None.: I suspect none. Each testicle makes about 250 sperm cells per heartbeat.

Question 4

i lost right testicle due to torsion... will it affect my testosterone and fertility... i went to 2 urologist they said it's all right one is fine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They are correct. If in doubt have a testosterone and semen analysis.

Question 5

hi,

i got one testicle removed when i was 12 (11 years ago). i am really into bodybuilding and planning to do a testosterone cycle on trt level. will this have effect on my fertility, and how to combat this? thank you for answering?

Accepted Answer

: Having just one testicle has no effect on testosterone level. The level is not determined directly by the testicles, but by the pituitary gland, which secretes gonadotropin releasing hormone. GRH in turn regulates testosterone production by the testicles. One testicle has more than enough hormone-secreting cells to meet the need.

Question 6

could a testicle injury affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

If only 1 testicle: ... Was injured, and the other 1 was fine, fertility should be ok. If both testicles were severely injured, that would have more serious implications for fertility. Minor testicular injuries should have no effect on fertility.

Question 7

could injuries to the testicle cause fertility problems?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Testicular trauma, if severe, can rupture the testicle and cause impairment of sperm production but this is very rare.  If a man has just had typical playground testicle injuries, it's unlikely to explain fertility problems and he should get a more thorough evaluation.

Question 8

when i have had sex my right testicle has retracted back up. i then have to push it back down again. is this bad and/or dangerous e.g. fertility?

Accepted Answer

Normal reflex: Retraction of the testicle is a reflex called the Cremaster reflex, normal and should relax on it's own after time, or soaking in warm water

Question 9

testicle hernia affect a guys fertility?

Accepted Answer

No : Inguinoscrotal   hernia will not cause infertility.

Question 10

can being hit in the testicles cause fertility problems?

Accepted Answer

Usually no: Unless there is rupture of the testicle which would be result of severe trauma and cause scrotal swelling and pain sufficient to require emergency room care. These injuries are quite rare, & caused by more than a hit. Ruptured testicles need to be repaired because sperm escaping into the tissue could cause sperm antibodies to be produced which in turn could cause infertility.
